"That's good," Lawrence said "I' of the end of your time here," he said

"Maybe," I said and went into my rooress at the moment

I was just putting onin to brush out my hair when Mrs Kleckner appeared in my doorway

"I've made you your appointment," she said "Tomorrow at ten"

"Thank you," I said

"Go to roo," she added and started to leave

"One-oh-one? But that's not Doctor Southerby's office," I cried "Why do I have to go there?"

She turned back to me slowly

"Your case has been transferred to Doctor Scanlon," she said, not without some pleasure

"But I don't want to be transferred I want to talk to Doctor Southerby," I said, My heart was racing Why would I be transferred now?

She sighed and rolled her eyes toward the ceiling

"I want, I want, I want Don't you people have any other words in your vocabulary? It's not important what you want; what you need is decided by the people in charge here," she said "Your transfer to Dr Scanlon has been decided and that's that," she added, her words ha into my brain

"I won't talk to anyone else but Doctor Southerby," I insisted just as firmly I faced her with all the defiance I could muster

She stared at me a moment and then stepped toward me, a cold smile on her face
