"So," Mihul said, "there are a number of alternatives. I'll lay them out for you. You take your pick. For one, I could just keep you doped.

"Do you think you being a woman and acute in such matters that he's asked her yet?" he said. "No, I don't; they both look too edgy. He's going to, however, and she's going to take him, I think. I'm not sure. She may be flirting." "If she flirts with Scott, I'll have her punished," declared Hard, indignantly. "Well, maybe she won't.
Victory is not guaranteed, losses loom constantly, investors are forever edgy, customers are fickle, bankers itchy, capital markets gloomy, suppliers beholden to the competition.
