Back in the kitchen she poured me a cup of coffee which I drank while I sat at the table and watched her sweep up some spilled cornflakes. I thought she was a little out of practice, but I didnt say anything. When she was done she joined me at the table with a cup of tea. Id say she looks pretty damned good, Ted said. Not with either one of our lives. What is it? And, Mason went on, I looked her over pretty carefully to make certain there wasnt anything concealed. I admit that was a mistake, he said. I shudder to think what would have happened if hed caught you. Id planned to catch up on my other races in my room but I was too distracted by the idea of working with Karen Foster to concentrate, so I headed back to the office. You vice? I said and before he could reply I went on with my rube act, which even Ruth says isnt bad. You know what shes doin, don’tcha? She’s sittin’ up there in a fancy wrapper you can see right through drinkin’ Scotch whiskey and hit not yet noon. Youre stalling. Audrey made a face indicating that she didnt think much of Roger Vullo. Betty be back here tonight? What was your purpose in going out there?.
