Noteriety

Word travels fast. In park this morning, word of Jenny's escape from New Orleans hot topic of conversation. In spite of earlier reticence, find self making up stories about Jenny's rescue (often find that what am first horrified by, and say will Never do, i.e. talking to others at dog run, is actually prediction of what will come to pass). Woman owner of poodle named Willy very interested in story. Respond favorably to enthusiasm, which leads to Exaggeration. See at end of story that am about to place Jenny on Roof of house she has swum to and am about to have helicopter arrive just as the flood waters threaten the peak of the rof. With significant look, Cut conversation with Willy's mother short, letting her to imagine the rest. Jennny oblivious to celebrity.
