Brad barged in before the door had
closed. "A new pet name?"
mo! Myself! Here I've been
bowling all over the place, hating
you and everyone else. because |
had to give you back your rightful
job: when all the time knew that
l was holding it just for the emer-
gency when going down those
stairs is the real martyr of the
organization, Myra Higgins! She's
been grinding out: For Sale Cheap
and Wanted to Buy Reasonable for
fifteen years - when all the time
she was yearning to write about
afternoon teas and morning musi-
Gales and, yes - epergnes! Then in
l plopped. a mere upstart of two
years on the paper. squarely into
her life's ambition-ands she doesn't
even hate me! She thinks I'm pretty
and smart and -"
That proves she's smartr'
s'IT PROVES I'm a louise And dumb!
| should have had this all figured
out on my own before your returnl
Then | wouldn't be having to
apologize now"
This is an Apology" There was
no laughter in his eyes. no anger
either: there was strange new
brightness,
YES" she murmured. very meek.
"If you'll accept it."
Sure Matter of fact. I've been
with you all along. I've discovered
too that. for the ex-serviceman. the
girl in his job may turn out to be
serious problem. It's like this: When
you've been brought up to getting
up and giving lady a seat. it sort
of goes against the grain to see her
get up and give one to you! Ever
since I've been back I've been trying
to find solution"
There's only one-the girl makes
a graceful exit before you even know
she's been sitting there
IL have another. good one,
though not guaranteed to work in
ALI cases, You marry the girlr'
Marry herr
That's right. You fall in love
with her first of course - as did
that night at the game. It's simple
after that. You marry the girl - in
ou-job out of your job. Ruthanna
darling -"
ut - it would be simply wonder
full for Myra," Ricky heard small
voice saying - her own. she sup
posed. though she didn't recognize
it. Il owe Myra lot ="
Yeah" Brad said. me too"
1t was fortunate. in a way, that
Les and Kerrigan had gone into
Bozo's cubbyhole: even two people
with typewriter ink in their veins
may prefer kisses not for publication.
Unfortunate. in another. because
Ricky and Brad were very good at
IL - really sensational. The End
