Stacy Visits Tripleday

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 7802

How could this Toby Masterson have written a novel that seemed to be describing her own experiences with such remarkable accuracy? Stacy had the uncomfortable thought that what she decided to do next might be predestined, determined by whatever Masterson had written in the part of the book that she could not yet read. She decided that she needed to visit Masterson and ask him a few questions.

How to find him, though? The book jacket told her that he lived in New York, but that wasn't much to go on. Perhaps his publishers, Tripleday, would be willing to give her his address or phone number. So she set out for their offices on Madison Avenue.

She found them easily enough. Their premises were within a large office block. Entering the lobby, she spoke to the receptionist, who directed her up to the third floor. There, she was directed to an executive's office. She asked him whether he would be willing to help her get in touch with Toby Masterson. He replied:

  1. "Certainly".
  2. "Sorry. For all I know you're some kind of weirdo, like the woman in Stephen King's 'Misery'."
  3. "Sure. You do realise that 'Toby Masterson' is an alias and that the author's real name is Stacy Jones? I've never met her myself."
  4. "I'm Toby Masterson."
