Phone call to 290 gallery
Sadie put down her book and picked up the phone on the fifth ring since nobody had answered in the office.
"Hello," she said. ""90 Fine Arts, City branch .... Oh hello Mrs Haycock." She smiled, having entertained a little fantasy about getting a job at the new York gallery. She felt it would suit her much better.
Marian Haycock said, "I understand that Mr Shaw and Miss Andrassi are both away at the moment. Have you got anyone else there or are you on your own, dear."
"Oh, no, Mr Loki's here," Sadie said.
"Well I'd like to speak to him then," Marian said.
"I'll try and find him," Sadie said, and called the office wondering if he'd pick up this time.
