Mme. Storey stood in the doorway looking around her without speaking. Out of the corner of my eye I could see that the face of the young man beside me was livid and sweating. I suffered with him. Finally, my employer said in a deadly quiet voice: \"Turn down the mattress, Bella.\"
A groan was forced from the young man that seemed to come from his very entrails. \"Oh, God! I'm lost!\"
With trembling arms I obeyed my mistress.
