i had been planning to sabotage blaise and was attending a party to try to move some chamber of commerce people against him and i met a pretty girl who was with the catering staff and of course i flirted with her and told her to meet me at the club some time - that my name would get her in - but driving home that night i saw a car broken down off to the shoulder and i got out to help and it was her , and suddenly i saw her as a real person , not a trinket , someone who worked hard and had a careful nobility of personhood about herself and needed help .
