Hadn't Made the Grade


             She didn't look like any motel manager I had ever seen. More likely an actress who hadn't made the grade down south, or a very successful amateur tart on the verge of turning pro. Whatever her business was there had to be sex in it. She was as full of sex as a grape is full of juice, and so young that it hadn't begun to turn sour.
