He stood\nup, knocking over his chair. \"Come/on, Linda, let's blow. This'sde\njoint's just a dump*\"\n\n\"Come back and pick up the chair.\" The man's voice was quiet.\n\nSteve ambled on towards the door. Linda stood hesitantly, terrified\neither to go or to stay.\n\n\"Come back!\" The propraietor caught Steve by the shoulder. Steve\nstopped facing out to the street. \"Now pick up that chair.
