Jessica and Jim meet in a Hotel room, where they've come to do some work together. Jessica is a Virtuous Secretary; she knows Jim as a famous Evangelist. Jim would rather see their relationship as two potential Lovers. Thinking in these romantic terms, Jim desires Jessica; he applauds her recent work and her appearance, attempting to amuse her. As a Virtuous Secretary, Jessica wasn't expecting this. She tries to address Jim, intends to pacify him if he makes requests, to consult with him about their work for the ministry. Because of his greater power in the situation, Jim grabs the moment and Amuses Jessica with a joke. Jim's reactions to this lively interaction are in keeping with his romantic view of the situation; he feels in love, passionate, pleased, and cheerful. Jessica is somewhat taken aback at this loverlike behavior from her esteemed Evangelist – she is touched but feels moved, awestruck, emotional in response to his expressive attention.

Jim's impulses have not died down; he continues to Entertain Jessica with amusing stories. He desires her sexually. Jessica's somewhat agitated emotional state leads her to try and cool out the interaction by Consulting the Evangelist in a more formal manner about their work plans. He prevails, however (not unlikely, given her inclination to pacify him). He Sleeps With her. He feels great; she feels good but flustered.
