>  Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply,
>"I

>    I'm working for my Masters, (the whole darned family) and already have

>     There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she
>     completed the form, stood up and personally ushered me to the door.

>  As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was
