Help for Jenny

Need to have hand-outs copied for meeting. Go into work study closet and happen on Billy and new work study student (young woman by the name of Summer Moon, hired, strangely, by Libby) discussing different ways to smoke. Say, Isn't there only one way to smoke? You put the cigarette in your mouth and inhale? Think am quite clever. There is a silence. Say, Oh--realizing--You mean there are lots of different ways to smoke pot. Feel several hundred years old. Hand off copying job and say briskly, I need this right away. Flee to visit the Contessa on the fourth floor. She says she is glad I came down--she has a present for me. From her bag she produces Cesar's Way, explaining that though she's always found Jenny a very fine companion, it is clear that she needs a bit of a tuneup tout de suite so that no child gets bitten. Thank her for the gift. Tell her that saw Millicent and mother in elevator last night--was thankfully without Jenny--but mother says in tight voice, I hope you got a muzzle for your dog. (Dog said though other word for crocodile.)
