It was a dangerous expedient but it was worth it, for Billy, resigned to the situation, waved back and a moment later the bucket started to swoop towards the other shore. Suddenly Bob remembered that he had left his job in the office without anybody’s authority. The excitement had made him forget that he had a job.

She let me finish what I had to say, took me in and without a word gave me a big spread. But when I got through she made up for her silence.
