She perched herself on his lap and asked him what was worrying him. "Nothing much, honey," he groaned, "except that I've lost my job." Kedzie was thunderstruck. She breathed the expletive she learned from her latest companions. "My Gawd!" Gilfoyle nodded dreadfully: "Business has been bad, anyway. Kalteyer, with his chewing-gum, was about our only big customer, and now he's gone bust. Yep.
