We were willing at one time to work it for what is was worth, but it never was worth that, and if you'd had a little more experience, Murchison, you'd have realized it."
She never talked about the work she did for people, and she always kept it away from the eyes of those not concerned in it. That, she considered, was professional etiquette. She had strained a point when she had read a little of the manuscript to Vic.
