Magic is all right, but only if i knew human nature like Zeena, she has the kind of magic that ought to take anybody right to the top. It's a convincer - that act of hers. Yet nobody can do it, cold. It takes years to get that kind of smooth talk, and she's never stumped. I'll have to try and pump her and get wised up. She's a smart dame, all right. Too bad she's tied to a rumdum like Pete who can't even get his rhubarb any more ; so everybody says. She isn't a bad-looking dame, even if she's a little old.
