Howard gives Leslie the letter |
| Description: |
Tense variant of the Leslie theme, rising chromatically (five times in a row) to create tension, combined with the chromatic Deception theme; coincides with Leslie's growing anxiety about the letter; the cue speeds up and keeps climbing as she thinks through the situation |
