Description
It was too early to call to set an appointment, too early to deal with that office's feckless secretaries, too early to be in a bad mood, and now the kettle's harmonica whistle began to hum, giving the harpsichord picking out the beautiful Couperin some competition. Soon the kettle whistle would insist that she turn and walk to the stove and turn the gas off. "Okay then," she said to herself, "do this--you can do this," but she didn't. She eyed the doctor's card propped at midnight against the coffee grinder so that she could not miss it as she made coffee in the morning--and now she was making coffee, or starting to, and it was bright out and the kettle mounted its pitch. She stood before the kitchen window holding the handset and did not turn to the stove.
