(Donald Lam appears for a job interview with Bertha Cool)
"yes. Sit down in that chair and wait."
I sat and waited. Smith didn't last long. H was out in less than two minutes. the second man made the round trip so fast it looked as though he'd come out on the bounce. The third man lasted ten minutes and came out looking dazed. The door of the outer office opened. Three more applicants came in. The blonde took their names, sized them up and made notes. After they were seated, she picked up the telephone and said laconically, "four more," listened for a moment, and hung up.
