Secretary Page #4

Because you won't be

doing that anymore, will you?

No, sir.

Good.

Oh, it's early.

Mom...

I'm going to walk home

from now on.

I took a shortcut

through Hawkins Park,...

and it was as if

I'd never taken a walk

by myself before.

And when I thought about it,...

I realized that I had probably

never had taken a walk alone.

But because he had given me

the permission to do this...

because he'd insisted I do it,

I felt held by him as I walked along.

I felt he was with me.

At the same time I was feeling

something growing in Mr. Grey...

an intimate tendril creeping

from one of his darker areas,...

nursed on the feeling that he

had discovered something about me.

The next day I didn't even bring

my cuticle scissors and my iodine...

but I did make

another typing mistake.

What is wrong with you?

That is all you have to do...

type and answer the phones.

Is that beyond you?

I'm sorry.

- It certainly seems to be.

I'm sorry.

- Don't apologize to me.

What goes on inside

that head of yours?

Come into my office

and bring that letter.

Put the letter on my desk.

I want you to bend over the desk

so you're looking directly at it.

Get your face very close to the letter

and read the letter aloud.

I don't understand.

There's nothing to understand.

Put your elbows on the desk...

bend over...

get your face close to the letter

and read it aloud.

'Dear Mr. Garvey,...

I'm grateful

to you for referring...'

Continue.

Ms. Holloway, read.

'...for referring me to your case.

The subject of animal captivity...

has been of interest

to me for quite a while,...

and my secretary has prepared...

research material...

that I think you will

find illuminating.

If you wouId be so kind...

as to send me the June 5th Ietter

of which we spoke,...

my associates and I

will review it immediately.

Please feel free to call me

at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely,

E. Edward Grey.'

Read it again.

'Dear Mr. Garvey...'

'I am grateful to you...'

'for referring me to your case.

The subject of animal captivity

has been of interest to me...'

'...for quite a while.

And my secretary

has prepared research material...

that I think you

will find illuminating.'

Now straighten yourseIf up

and go type it again.

Ms. Holloway?

Good letter.

Mom?

The lock can

come off the cabinet now.

Oh, honey.

Replace the light bulb

in the hallway to my office.

Mr. Grey.

- Good to see you again, Mr. Garvey.

You remember my secretary,

Ms. Holloway.

I'm sorry about the typo.

It's porterhouse steak,

mashed... no...

creamed potatoes, green peas,

iced tea and ice cream.

Okay. Just a scoop

of creamed potatoes...

and a slice of butter.
