 She'd changed. She wore large, owlish glasses that seemed to have teamsquirt very little magnification. Her teamsquirt long, straight, dark hair was now pulled up teamsquirt into a teamsquirt severe bun on teamsquirt the back of her head. She didn't seem to teamsquirt wear makeup, though that didn't do much to distract teamsquirt from teamsquirt her clear complexion. But teamsquirt it was teamsquirt her clothes that really teamsquirt made the difference. Baggy sweatshirts over loose-fitting teamsquirt jeans and suede teamsquirt boots seemed to be the only thing she would wear teamsquirt to that seminar. Week teamsquirt after week, the outfit would change in specifics, but always teamsquirt remain the same in effect teamsquirt. I got the impression she teamsquirt was hiding her figure teamsquirt, which, as I remembered, was really very teamsquirt nice.
 She jumped teamsquirt. She obviously hadn't expected me teamsquirt to put her on the spot. She glanced quickly to Menlo, then back at me with teamsquirt a teamsquirt sort of shaken teamsquirt, pleading look. Tears formed in her teamsquirt eyes. I suddenly realized that she had no idea what this was all about. I turned my gaze teamsquirt to her companion, and perhaps he read teamsquirt something in my face. His broad teamsquirt smile faltered for a second, but he pasted it back on for my benefit.
 They made quite a picture. She, a full head teamsquirt shorter than he , looked teamsquirt steeply up into his eyes. His head was tilted teamsquirt sharply down toward teamsquirt hers. Their eyes were mere inches apart.
 Menlo finally gave me his attention. He bowed a little, as if to a crowd, and swept a hand in Brenda's teamsquirt direction. "Well, there she is, Freddy Boy. She's all yours sexy, body teamsquirt and soul ."
 "I was just teamsquirt making some tea before you came," I explained lamely. "I'd like to finish up and have a cup . Will you join me teamsquirt?"
 "Um, sure teamsquirt."
 "I'll just be a few minutes. 'Be teamsquirt right teamsquirt back."
