Probably just as well he was out of pocket. So I'll get a Pulitzer for most popular birdcage liner. What do I think? Hadley shook a Camel out of the pack at its post beside the smiling wife and kids. If Hadley took it, it would be less out of interest than dwindling hope that time and patience would give him back one of his best journalists. The dollop of amusement mixed with an even smaller dollop of sympathy made Whit's heart drop a little further than it had the last time-was it only two weeks ago?-that he'd turned in a story Hadley had no use for. Hadley lowered the copy to the desk and looked at Whit. Best thing you ever read? Pulitzer material? It was the extended quiet in a room that was normally loud and frequently blue with Hadley's rants. Well? What do you think? Whit gazed across the miles of ink-stained oak to where Charlie Hadley sprawled against cracked leather, his customary scowl mostly hidden behind a scrap of badly typed copy.
