"Tex has been right exactly one hundred and fifty times. He's never been more than five tries to the good in the whole series." TEX HAS BEEN RIGHT EXACTLY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TIMES HE'S NEVER BEEN MORE THAN FIVE TRIES TO THE GOOD IN THE WHOLE SERIES
 I could call the top card, the office door opened behind us. I looked around, expecting Pheola. Instead it was Milly with the down, down hose. Only this time she was decently dressed in a dark two-piece suit and wore make-up. She certainly was no more talkative than before, nor did Wally introduce her. Shari was perfectly equal to the occasion and looked through Milly with composure. This takes about three generations of overbreeding. "Try it," Wally insisted. "What's on top?" I hit it. Then I missed it. Then I hit three in a row. It wasn't fast work, because Wally hid the cards under his desk after each guess, shuffled the two cards around and then laid them before me again. This went on for about twenty minutes. At that point Shari spoke. "That makes exactly three hundred tries," she said, looking at the counter in her hand. "Have you been keeping score, Mr. Bupp?" "I thought _you_ were." "So I was," she snapped, throwing up her tiaraed head. He sure brought out the worst in people. GHT ALL THE TIME OR IT WON'T MATTER BUT BEFORE I COULD CALL THE TOP CAR THE OFFICE DOOR OPENED BEHIND US I LOOKED AROUND EXPECTING THEOLA INSTEAD IT WAS MILLY WITH THE DOWN HOSE ONLY THIS TIME SHE WAS DECENTLY DRESSED IN A DARK TWO PIECE SUIT AND WORE MAKE UP SHE CERTAINLY WAS NO MORE TALKATIVE THAN BEFORE NOR DID WALLY INTRODUCE HER SHERRY WAS PERFECTLY EQUAL TO THE OCCASION AND LOOKED THROUGH MILLY WITH COMPOSURE THIS TAKES ABOUT THREE GENERATIONS OF OVERBREEDING TRY IT WALLY INSISTED WHAT'S ON TOP I HIT IT THEN I MISSED IT THEN I HIT THREE IN A ROW IT WASN'T FAST WORK BECAUSE WALLY HID THE CARDS UNDER HIS DESK AFTER EACH GUESS SHUFFLED THE TWO CARDS AROUND AND THEN LAID THEM BEFORE ME AGAIN THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES AT THAT POINT SHERRY SPOKE THAT MAKES EXACTLY THREE HUNDRED TRIES SHE SAID LOOKING AT THE COUNTER IN HER HAND HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING SCORE MISTER BUMPP I THOUGHT YOU WERE SO I WAS SHE SNAPPED THROWING UP HER TIARA HEAD HE'S SURE BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN PEOPLE
