Mitch Maxwell went as white as a ghost—you could see clean through him. He ran. For his life, I suppose. Garth took it in good part and said, “Them’s the breaks,” which is a fun expression, and then we all had a cup of tea. He said how well he thought we had handled everything, and if we ever needed a job to come and talk to him. Then he and Elizabeth spoke for a while and I left them to it.
