the third morning Of my new
routine he looked even more
intrigued when he asked me
quickly for a list of those big
money contributors for the
Senator's inspection, and I
handed him a box Of cotton
balls instead.
He was even more fasci-
mated when rather than q
letter from the Senator's
crank file, I handed him q
bobby pin. But the real test
came when he rang for me to
take dictation and I had to
take 10 minutes to answer
because my nail. polish was
wet, and then I found I'd
taken in an eyebrow pencil
rather than a pen and some
cleaning tissues rather than
my shorthand pad. What
