Hi Barbara!
MagiKal was the only one who didn't seem to mind the cold. He darted back and forth among the crowd, motioning for people to switch places and half-dragging a huge man toward the other side
What’s he doing? Playing Tetris with his subjects?
You're a bit of a problem, Miss."
Yes, she is.
Lois didn’t have the slightest idea what kind of criterion he used.
One group contains all the guys. One the blondes. Then there is the third group. And now he found out that he needs a fourth group.
"Okay, everyone in the group to my right, you move over here to the left side of this lovely lady," MagiKal ordered
Three groups? Shell Game?
Maybe today was her chance to secure that interview.
I misread this at first as ‘seduce’ the interview.
The group to Lois' left lifted their arms collectively, then stared at each other. Everyone was wearing thick jackets, their scarfs wrapped so firmly around their necks that it was impossible to see what was underneath.
Oh, duh! He couldn’t figure out why Lois was naked underneath her winter coat.
Or are you waiting for me to call up the people wearing blue, because you picked that blue vest?
aaaaaahhhhh
Okay, let's see, who's wearing green?
That’s easy! He just needs to walk past each person and those he stumbles in front of wear green k.
Lois cringed slightly as she remembered her rather pitiful attempt at getting his attention by hiding a sheet of paper that said: <I want to interview you. Please contact me at the Daily Planet. Lois Lane.>
Silly and kind of desperate.
And adorable
Have you lost your mind?” Perry barked. His eyes narrowed on Kent. “Every damn reporter in Metropolis would kill for that offer.”
But Superman doesn’t kill.
You want it badly, that interview, don’t you?
Yes, she wants it badly. That interview, that is.
I mean, I could really use some help. And you’re a good writer. We could use someone like you around here.”
Trying to get that elusive hiring bonus for the freshman who wins a Kerth in his first year?
LOIS:
How’s that head of yours?” Good grief, when had she changed to flirting with him?
I think when she became a bit breathless and her heart started to flutter.
Houdini however, was still standing in front of her and watching her intently.
HOUDINI: You’re not gonna get that spot at the foot end of my master’s bed.
How could he know that she’d had a turkey sandwich for lunch that she hadn’t eaten completely?
He learned that trick from MagiKal. Her breath smells of ham, she got mayonnaise spots in her shirt and no wrapping paper in the trash.
Lois' heart skipped a beat. So he had seen her letter after all. But how?
Fascinating.

Looking forward to next Friday!
