Well, old John sure didn't for- get you, said the supposed cousin, and since the wife and I have been having so much trouble lately we iust knew you'd remem- ber us in our time of need. Mr. Portal angrily hung up. Mary! he called. In here, she called back from the living room. The newly-made millionaire went to talk with her, and was greeted by a burst of flashbulbs and chorus of questions. Mr, Portal, what do you think you'Il buy first? Where is the money now? Are you going to retire? Where is your restroom? Can I use your telephone? The telephone, though, was already ringing. Mrs. Portal brushed by Mr. Portal, who was try- ing to answer everyone at once. It's for you - some woman, she reported, with a strange look on her face. HelIo? said Mr. Portal. BiII? Who is this? You know who this is, said a husky voice, and if you don't send me a million dollars everyone will know about us. Mr. Portal hung up in disgust and tramped back to the living room, taking his place beside his dazed wife. Could you iust give us a state- ment, said a network broadcaster. Mr. Portal thought a moment as the cameras whirred and clicked. I never thought it would be this much trouble to be rich, he said, and a glazed look came into his eyes. I . . . I iust wish everyone wasn't so interested all of a sudden. A technician stuck his head out the kitchen door. Mr. Portal - phone for you. Bill Portal wearily went to the phone to answer it. Mr, Portal? Yes. I guess you've been pretty excited all day. Uh. . .sure. Well, l've got some disappoint- ing news for you. Hold it. Mr. Portal shut the liv- ing room door. What is it? Well, there's been a kind of mix-up . . . the William T. Portal we were looking for lives in Chi- cago. Uh . . . I hope this isn't too hard for you. Mr. Portal listened to the cacoph- ony of reporters in the living room trying to get the furniture out of the way. A policeman was trying to get the street cleared, and his wife burst into the kitchen in tears. Listen, he said, when you call that guy, give him all my sym- pathy. And as Bill Portal went back to the living room, he didn't mean for the death of a rich cousin.
