It was when Kitty found that her heart
pounded with a mad, absurd excitement every
time Kenny walked through her part OF the
Office that she was pretty sure she loved him.
Afraid she did.
And then Jim came to New York A short
business trip; he wrote asking Kitty to dine
and go to the ti1eater with him. He couldn't,
he said, wait to see her. He loved her.
It was early April. great fun moon hung
over Central Park as Kitty and Jim drove back
in a taxi from the theater. The taxi top was
down, and the air warm and caressing, like
Jim's voice.
"I wish you'd change your mind Kitty dear.

The next night, with Kenny talking nonsense
as they walked down Broadway to the movies,
she did what she knew was cheap what she
couldn't keep herself from doing. Told Kenny
all about Jim. And said she thought she would
marry him.
