Chapter 40 First Day Troubles

• Mr. Carver calls me only once on Monday, to thank me for my work at the country club and to wish me well about my upcoming job. I thank him dearly for the opportunity he gave to me, and extend my offer once more to help fill in on the weekends.
• “You are going to be a journalist,” Mr. Carver says to me. “People will be seeing you on the 8 pm news before too long. We can’t have someone of that level of talent handing out drinks, Esther.”
• His faith in me fills me with fresh hope, after my dinner with my family washed most of mine away.
