Promptly at noon the director stopped the rehearsal.
“Half an hour for lunch,” he announced and the company scattered at once.
Janet and Helen walked down the long corridor to the reception room where a hurrying figure almost bumped into them.
It was Jim Hill, the continuity writer. He stopped suddenly and his face lighted up as he recognized them.
“Just the girls I’m looking for!” he exclaimed. “Lunch time?”
Janet nodded.
“Then have lunch with me,” and before they could remonstrate, he hurried them toward the elevator and they dropped downward with a suddenness that always unnerved Janet.
