"Norman Spinrad - He Walked Among Us" - читать интересную книгу автора (Spinrad Norman)

Kapplemeyer's probably managed to rent it out to full paying guests about as often as Frank Sinatra
topped the bill at the Fabulous Sunset Room, which did much to explain why they had comped it as an
upgrade to the big time agent from Hollywood in the off-season.

Still....

тАЬNot bad, huh?тАЭ Jimmy said as Sabrina pranced around the living room.

She came to light on the couch. Jimmy stood over her gazing down her cleavage.

тАЬYou weren't shining me on,were you?тАЭ she said. тАЬYou reallyare a big-time agent from Hollywood!"

Texas Jimmy smiled at her. тАЬWould I bullshit you?тАЭ he murmured.

Sabrina took both of his hands in hers. тАЬYou know what I'd like now?тАЭ she said softly.

тАЬWhat?тАЭ Jimmy purred.

тАЬCould we ... could we have some champagne, I mean it would be perfect, just like in the movies..."

тАЬWhy sure,тАЭ Jimmy said. тАЬI'll call room service. Why don't you go into the bedroom and slip into
something more comfortable.тАЭ He winked lugubriously. тАЬLike nothing at all...."

Sabrina giggled and departed. Jimmy called room service.

тАЬA bottle of champs."

тАЬWhat brand?"

тАЬThe best in theтАФUh, something classy that don't cost an arm and a leg, know what I mean?"

About five minutes later, room service arrived with a bottle in an ice bucket and two glasses on a
silver-plate tray. Jimmy glanced at the label, saw that it was Mo├лt & Chandon, a famous French brand,
gave the bellboy a good tip, and took it into the bedroom.

Sabrina was stretched out across the bed on her back with her arms and legs wide open wearing only a
great big smile.

Jimmy popped the bottle, did the honors. тАЬHere's lookinтАЩ at you, kid,тАЭ he said Bogartwise, clinking
glasses.

Only much later, when he took a second look at the label on the now-empty bottle, did he realize that
they had fobbed him off with some knock-off version of the real French stuff that had been bottled in
California.
