Apprehension.

“You are nervous, sir, are you not?” "Yes, sir. I shall be nervous until the drafting season is passed and gone.” “The drafting Beason?” “Yes —for cooks! I live in the suburbs, you know. We are divided into leagues out there —major and minor, and each league is further divided into classes. To the major league belong those families whose cars cost more than 2,500, to the minor league those whose cars cost less. My family is in Class B of the minor league, which means that our cook is subject to draft Class A of the minor league and all the classes of the major league. A number of scouts have dined with us, and —in short, I fear the worst.” —Puck.
