his coat as he stood up, please
don't"
Got to have a mint, terrible in
digestion, be right back"
She chung to his coat sleeve.
Mr.. Matthews"
"Oh, WHAT"
IF you stop debating now, you
know that you won't start again,

lose the first good job I've had in
years?"
you won't. I'll see to that.
Really, I have to"
There are only those two chap
tiers. I am sure your indigestion
won't lay you low until you get
them DONE"

prisoner, or what? I tell you will
be right back"

But look here, suppose Susie
gets through with the hair dresser
and is looking for me? No use to
try and bluff you. Miss Morrison,
so III admit that can't work any
more today"
You may rest assured, Mr..
Matthews, that Susie will not
show up yet awhile"

came up and said, Are you Miss
Morrison?"
Margery said that she was.

phone, Miss Morrison"
