She
smiles
when
she
s
ready
,
looks
up
at
the
captivated
throng
,
and
launches
eloquently
into
her
speech
.
She
s
composed
and
funny
,
the
girls
beside
me
erupt
on
cue
at
her
first
joke
.
Oh
,
Katherine
Kavanagh
,
you
can
deliver
a
good
line
.
I
am
so
proud
of
her
at
that
moment
,
my
errant
thoughts
of
Christian
pushed
to
one
side
.
Even
though
I
have
heard
her
speech
before
,
I
listen
carefully
.
She
commands
the
room
and
takes
her
audience
with
her
.
Her
theme
is
What
Next
After
College
?
Oh
,
what
next
indeed
.
Christian
is
watching
Kate
,
his
eyebrows
raised
in
surprise
,
I
think
.
Yes
,
it
could
have
been
Kate
who
went
to
interview
him
.
And
it
could
have
been
Kate
who
he
was
now
making
indecent
proposals
to
.
Beautiful
Kate
and
beautiful
Christian
,
together
.
I
could
be
like
the
two
girls
beside
me
,
admiring
him
from
afar
.
I
know
Kate
wouldn
t
have
given
him
the
time
of
day
.
What
did
she
call
him
the
other
day
?
Creepy
.
The
thought
of
a
confrontation
between
Kate
and
Christian
makes
me
uncomfortable
.
I
have
to
say
I
don
t
know
which
of
them
I
would
put
my
money
on
.
Kate
concludes
her
speech
with
a
flourish
,
and
spontaneously
everyone
stands
,
applauding
and
cheering
,
her
first
standing
ovation
.
I
beam
at
her
and
cheer
,
and
she
grins
back
at
me
.
Good
job
,
Kate
.
She
sits
,
as
does
the
audience
,
and
the
chancellor
rises
and
introduces
Christian
Holy
shit
,
Christian
s
going
to
give
a
speech
.
The
chancellor
touches
briefly
on
Christian
s
achievements
:
CEO
of
his
own
extraordinarily
successful
company
,
a
real
self
-
made
man
.

and
also
a
major
benefactor
to
our
university
.
Please
welcome
Mr
.
Christian
Grey
.
The
chancellor
pumps
Christian
s
hand
,
and
there
is
a
swell
of
polite
applause
.
My
heart
s
in
my
throat
.
He
approaches
the
lectern
and
surveys
the
hall
.
He
looks
so
confident
standing
in
front
of
us
all
,
as
Kate
did
before
him
.
The
two
girls
beside
me
lean
in
,
enraptured
.
In
fact
,
I
think
most
of
the
female
members
of
the
audience
inch
closer
and
a
few
of
the
men
.
He
begins
,
his
voice
soft
,
measured
,
and
mesmerizing
.
I
m
profoundly
grateful
and
touched
by
the
great
compliment
accorded
to
me
by
the
authorities
of
WSU
today
.
It
offers
me
a
rare
opportunity
to
talk
about
the
impressive
work
of
the
environmental
science
department
here
at
the
university
.
Our
aim
is
to
develop
viable
and
ecologically
sustainable
methods
of
farming
for
third
world
countries
;
our
ultimate
goal
is
to
help
eradicate
hunger
and
poverty
across
the
globe
.
Over
a
billion
people
,
mainly
in
sub
-
Saharan
Africa
,
South
Asia
,
and
Latin
America
,
live
in
abject
poverty
.
Agricultural
dysfunction
is
rife
within
these
parts
of
the
world
,
and
the
result
is
ecological
and
social
destruction
.
I
have
known
what
it
s
like
to
be
profoundly
hungry
.
This
is
a
very
personal
journey
for
me

My
jaw
falls
to
the
floor
.
What
?
Christian
was
hungry
once
.
Holy
crap
.
Well
,
that
explains
a
great
deal
.
And
I
recall
the
interview
;
he
really
does
want
to
feed
the
world
.
I
desperately
rack
my
brains
to
remember
what
Kate
had
written
in
her
article
.
Adopted
at
age
four
,
I
think
.
I
can
t
imagine
that
Grace
starved
him
,
so
it
must
have
been
before
then
,
as
a
little
boy
.
I
swallow
,
my
heart
constricting
at
the
thought
of
a
hungry
,
gray
-
eyed
toddler
.
Oh
no
.
What
kind
of
life
did
he
have
before
the
Greys
got
hold
of
him
and
rescued
him
?
I
m
seized
by
a
sense
of
raw
outrage
.
Poor
,
fucked
-
up
,
kinky
,
philanthropic
Christian
though
I
m
sure
he
wouldn
t
see
himself
this
way
and
would
repel
any
thoughts
of
sympathy
or
pity
.
Abruptly
,
everyone
bursts
into
applause
and
stands
.
I
follow
,
though
I
haven
t
heard
half
his
speech
.
He
s
doing
all
of
these
good
works
,
running
a
huge
company
,
and
chasing
me
at
the
same
time
.
It
s
overwhelming
.
I
remember
the
brief
snippets
of
conversations
he
s
had
about
Darfur
