I cannot believe they have all agreed to indulge me like this. George and Jeffrey now share the couch with me. I thought that since I was not about to get up that the least I could do was shift my carcass around and make room for them. Carl is in the recliner chair and Francois in the arm chair and we are all eating greedily from our plates the delicious breakfast thatt George and Jeffrey have just prepared. as well as the eggs and toast, on the table there are dishes of prepared fruit, rolls, cheeses and jams. If they were doing this in order to buy their way into my good graces they have done wonderfully and astutely well.
"What time does Chuck want to see us today?" Francois asks me.
"What time is it right now."
"Just eight thirty."
"Well, we didn't agree on a time, so he'd might as well expect us for ten. What do you think."
"So you guys are going to be working for him", says Carl, evidently a little bit peeved about it.
"Why don't you come with us", sys François. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"Is he paying you guys"
"As far as we know and he did say something about it", say I.
"I can tag along as a volunteer, if that's okay..."
