The repairman saluted her with his cap. Then he paused. "Miss," he said, "If you don't mind me asking...?"
"Hm?" she said.
"Why do install three showers in your office?" he said. "I mean... shouldn't your staff shower at home?"
"They can't do that in the middle of the day, can they?" Ida asked, sounding miffed.
"...and why ask me to only let them run cold?" the man continued.
"Out," she said, pointing at the door. "You're getting sweaty and the barbarian hordes are at the door!"
