"well ,i'm sure she's a fine legal secretary in spite of that big honking moputh of hers ," betty jo said , sitting down again on thre couch ," and she's observant . i do have a big ass , which hector considers a mojor asset , don't you . hector ?"
studying betty jo there on the couch ,talking it all in - the invitation , the fire , the down home way of talking , the drinks , the lityle old husband , the alert eyes - nina suddenly realized what this foolishness was all about , betty jo wanted nina unguarded . she wanted her friendlt=y , she wanted nina to underestimate her enemy . a little joke at her own expense was far vcheaper in the long run than a big settlement . legal stragegy , country style .
"now , i also hear that you recently came back to taho and set up again , that right ?betty jo was saying .
"i tried something el;se oyut for a few months , but i'm back for good now ."
"gad to hear it . the more women we gt up here , the less cussin ' and fightn ' there'll be in court ." a chihuahua skidded into thre room , followed by a large gray cat . they both jumped into betty jo's ;lap . her strong hand settled the the suddenen squabble as they vied for position .
nina said ,"how about you ?"
"oh , i was living in ther same little place i'd had for thirdty years down there in the central valley , doing a little divorce work here and some personal injury there . and what should pop up one fine morning but i a great big injury case with a deep pocketers insurer . i had to litigate it . by the start of trial i was in hock to my kids , my friends , plus the ddevil . three weks we went to court every day , me palpitating and my poor old client on this last legs . then the jury came in and gave us fifteen million buck she laughed ." you believe it ? like winning at loto .impossible odds .
