She said, “So you got what you wanted, all right?”
“Uh huh.”
“You were pretty smart, all right. Sam had to laugh when he realized what you’d done.”
She turned the ham once more. “How do you want your eggs?”
“None for me, thanks. I simply couldn’t eat a thing.”
The redhead said: “How about some news?”
I said, “I can get you a morning paper and…”
“Phooey! They’re too much trouble to read. Let’s listen.”
She went over and turned on the radio, catching a radio broadcast that had apparently been on the air some two or three minutes when she turned it on. “I’ll make it loud so Sam can hear in the bathroom,” she explained and twisted the dial which controlled the volume.
The announcer had finished with a discussion of the foreign situation, made a few comments on current labour troubles and then launched into local news.
