Helen had recovered her breath by now and readily agreed.
"Yeah, I bet. You know that Vee, Jimbo, was so threatening.
I took his picture and he came right up to me and demanded
to know my name and what I was doing there and. . ."
"Oh, he's a pain in the ass all the time," Roz interrupted.
"He was bad enough when he was chair of NERD but now that they
kicked him up to a Vee, he's insufferable. Drinks like a fish.
Did you tell him?"
Helen laughed. "No, I just yelled, `Press', at him and got
the hell out of there.
"Just a moment ago, outside, I got a good shot of three guys
that were just coming in. I think one of them was Dean Broadhurst.
One of the guys with him saw me and covered his face--
just like you see the crooks do on TV when they're taken to court."
James, the one male witness, came in with Jean and Andrea.
They were laden with Dunkin' Donut bags, coffee cups, milk and soda.
It was well past the time set for the commencement of the
hearing and the six women and one man good naturedly sat down
to await the pleasure of the Vee. Noblesse oblige never had
functioned at Belmont and they didn't expect it to start now.
