This is a tough crowd, Mr. Jeremy thought.
“Anyway ….”
Tommy interrupted Mr. Jeremy once again.
“All those red dots on our state are T-Men? You said the ratio was 10 to 1 …”
“Well yes, for now our state has a much bigger proportion of T-Men than the rest of the country. But my wild guess is that time will equalize it with a ratio equivalent to the rest of the population.”
“But isn’t it a big gap? Those red dots are almost half.”
“Yes, it surely is. Maybe our little town will restore the balance of the force …”
Again, the tough crowd did not respond to the tired Mr. Jeremy's references.
