She let me get to the door before she growled at my back: “You don’t like me very well, do you?” I turned to grin back at her with my hand on the knob. “Does anybody?” She threw her head back and opened her mouth wide and roared with laughter. In the middle of the laughter I opened the door and went out and shut the door on the rough mannish sound. I went back along the hall and knocked on the secretary’s half open door, then pushed it open and looked in.
