He grinned. ‘Uh?’
I grinned back at him. ‘I said it.’
‘Okay. When?’
I quit grinning. He leaned forward, then got up.
‘What’s the matter?’ I asked.
He said, ‘I didn’t think anyone could be that mad.’ I didn’t say anything. He went over to his desk. ‘You don’t want to go on any more, do you?’
‘No.’
‘Suppose I told you you want to quit because you’re right on the very edge of finding out what you want to know?’
‘Why don’t you tell me and see what I do?’
He just shook his head. ‘I’m not telling you anything. Go on, leave if you want to. I’ll give you back your change.’
