It was no consolation to Miss Elizabeth that she was losing weight. The constituents of her company were very conservative and they had constricted her to a consistent and constrained diet. She had considerable power herself, but they had consolidated together in order to keep her weight at a constant level of decline so as to best increase sales of the clothing line they sold. Her thinness was becoming conspicuous, however, and television consultants were beginning to tell her to consume more food, for God' s sake! They were forming a sort of loose consortium of considerate people willing to console her and give her positive consultation. This constituted a mutiny to her company, however, and they were planning to lock her in a conservatory to control her before any one else could.
