that　he　could　barely　concentrate　on　his　in…class　lectures；　let　alone　his

extracurricular　literary　ambitions。

But　in　the　last　twelve　evenings；　as　he　actually　sat　down　in　front　of　the

office…model　Underwood　he　had　borrowed　from　the　main　office　downstairs；　the

roadblock　had　disappeared　under　his　fingers　as　magically　as　cotton　candy

dissolves　on　the　lips。　He　had　e　up　almost　effortlessly　with　the　insights　into

Denkers　character　that　had　always　been　lacking；　and　he　had　rewritten　most　of

the　second　act　accordingly；　making　it　revolve　around　the　new　scene。　And　the

progress　of　the　third　act；　which　he　had　been　turning　over　in　his　mind　when　the

wasp　put　an　end　to　cogitation；　was　ing　clearer　all　the　time。　He　thought　he

could　rough　it　out　in　two　weeks；　and　have　a　clean　copy　of　the　whole　damned　play

by　New　Years。

He　had　an　agent　in　New　York；　a　tough　red…headed　woman　named　Phyllis　Sandler

who　smoked　Herbert　Tareytons；　drank　Jim　Beam　from　a　paper　cup；　and　thought　the
