The People’s Choice“Not funny,” she told him when she hadfinished coughing.“I’m serious,” said Mr Humphries. “I need toappoint Vicky’s successor. She’s done such a bang upjob and I need somebody to fill her shoes.”“Well not me,” said Jojo emphatically. “Besideswe all just assumed it would be Debs.”“Why Debs?” asked the Grand Master.“Well she has always been the golden gal. Iknow she fell into bad times with Ms Lawton but wealways figured that would get straightened out,” saidJojo. “And since you’ve been here you trusted her atthe tribunal and she’s involved in so many things. Hermentoring programs, the production, tennis and theorchestra and choir, and she’s still academic of theyear. Plus we’ve seen her in action with the cane. It’snot a bad resume.”“She’s very high maintenance,” said MrHumphries.Jojo forked down an oyster with horseradishand Tabasco. “Are you calling me low maintenance?”she giggled.“No, of course not,” smiled the Grand Master.“The reason Vix was such a great Red-shirt wasbecause she was respected and she respected herposition. I can’t think of anybody better than you tostep into her shoes.”“That’s kind of you to say, Sir, but really I’mnot your gal,” insisted Jojo. “Debs is much betterqualified and, besides, unless you’ve forgotten I’m theAll-Time Big BUTT. Hardly the best qualification for aRed-shirt.”
