calm that further enrased her

The purposely assumed boredom
in her voice drew the frenzy from
her guest that she wanted. He
grabbed the leg Of the massive pi-
ano that he had been leaning
against and tried to shake il, a
foolish, futile gesture that pleased
the girl.
she laughed heartily, good-na-
turedly, and extended her hand.
But the laugh did nothing to de-
crease her managers anger. He
slapped at her hand and got to his
