Annette Carter (Crystal Farmer)
/My Word
The man with the rent book looked up as the door opened and tenant ANNETTE CARTER appeared.
“My word” said the fascinated rent collector.
“Oh, help” blushed Annette, a secretary and a doll.
"What a charming hat," said he.
"I thought you were Christabel," gasped Annette, "I'm not dressed to receive anyone else." And she retreated rapidly, trying to hide herself behind the curtain, but it was much too short.
"I'll come back later, shall I?" said the rent collector.
"Well, don't let's argue about it," said Annette, looking delicious in the palest pink knicks, "that would suit me fine."
And when he came back later, she pushed the rent under the door and he didn't even get another look at her hat.
