Таинственные нападения на вокзале Кингз Кросс . . .
"Harriet March left the bank, where she worked as a clerk, at
two
minutes past five. She was in a very bad mood and was mumbling to
herself. Once again, she had not got the promotion she was hoping
for. She had complained to her boss that the man who had got the
promotion had been with the bank for much less time than she had.
Her boss had growled something about quality of work being more
important than quantity of time. When she persisted he got very
angry and had picked on her all day. As Harriet walked a little faster,
her cursing increased with her pace. A couple of passers-by gave her
strange looks and the volume of her whining decreased, tuing into
veiled threats of revenge.
I’ll show them. They’ll be sorry that they didn’t promote me. How
can my boss be so arrogant and not see my real potential? I’ll make
them pay if it’s the last thing I do.
Suddenly, Harriet was grabbed from behind by strong arms."
