man with an old face gared at her from behind
huge piles of scripts. who are you?" he barked.
"Who are you? Yout Who are you?" And he
riff1ed his papers, punched buzzer and pushed
her chair with simultaneous gestures.
Pam opened her little red mouth, and the odd
noise that came out of it frightened her

You wrote letter! Never mind. Forget it. Sit

curiosity overcoming her panic.

stopped as though he expected Pam to do lap

Pam literally flew through the door and
never remembered whether she opened it or
not.
Joe Doakes was waiting for her when she got
home. "What's the matter with my little

chair which practically hid her. whats got
