What a mess, but hopefully
Lyle could fix it.
Chapter 25
Ann Biggot was a crawling morass of nerves. As she explained to the panel,
it was not really fear of retribution for what she might say, it was fear
that she might be understood incorrectly and that would harm either her
chairman or Diana. She was overwhelmed, she exclaimed, ". . .because I
heard that this is the first Termination for Cause Hearing ever held
in Belmont!"
What an airhead, Henry thought. She swings so widely back and forth
that her testimony is generally contradictory and always rambling.
When she criticizes Lyle, in answer to a question from the panel,
she, in nearly the same breath, praises him on a totally unrelated issue.
Lord protect me from these dithering female types, he implored,
raising his eyes toward the ceiling. He looked back at the
witness critically. She's held her own in the looks department
for a woman of her age, he decided, but has let herself go to fat somewhat.
Must be, from the looks of her about ten years or so younger than Diana.
Well, Lyle thinks she loyal to him and that's what counts here.
Ann would not confirm her niece's testimony.
