Clyde's vent time # 2

[Paul McCloud]

I once had an appointment at the home of a single mom, who had teenage
children.  I told her I wouldn't enter if she herself wasn't home.  The
first time I was stood up (nobody home).  The next appointment there,
her daughter opened the door.  "Is your Mom there".  "No".  "Sorry, I
can't come in".  I left.  The woman phoned me the next day and
apologized.  She even sent me the full tuning-plus-pitch raise fee.  But
she hasn't called me since.  In this day and age, one can't be too
careful about these things.
