you're just like all men. Fine spault with your wife, but you look
at young gals on the street all the time. Honey, I ain't looked
at no young girls since I married you. You ain't. No, it's
enough to break a man's heart. Well what you mean, well, as
like going down to the meat market and drooling over steak and chops when you
know all you got home is ham hocks and sower belly. You should talk
about looks. What about that kiss of yours, that wrinkled face, that
watery eyes, and them sagging giles. You look like a bucket of wetwash
had just come out of the mountain. George, to think what I got
stuck with? After I had all them handsome men begging me to marry him.
Oh yeah, I just named one name, one handsome man that begged
you to marry him. Well, for one, that was Harry Thompson.
Harry Thompson, now Dare was a real unpretty boy that he was so bull
legged. And when he walked down the street, says, shint touched the
ground. They did not join. And how come he was the only boy
in town that had his kneecaps half souls? You're safi man? Was Peter

I was really a hunk or nothing. Yeah, then Hire, and Mama
was talking about her old boyfriends, telling me how popular Sapphire was when she
was young. Ye, well you must have seen something in her, kingfish.
You went with her all through high school. Well it wasn't exactly as
romantic as you make a sound. And you see, when I was young,
I had crooked teeth and weak guys, and my parents only had enough
money to take care of one. So they had my teeth straighten out,
and they let my eyes go tell the end. If it had been the
other way around today, I would have been snaggled tooth, but happy I
did. She was lucky to get you, all right, I'll tell you,
kingfish, there's a lot. Hey. Look at that fella coming across
the streets here towards the lodge. All he sure was a big felin Yeah,
man, look at them shoulders, they must be four feet wide.
He looked like he got missed the hart chapter and marks right in the suit
with him. You know, you know it hit the shoulders that bothers me.

of feets that big was on the desk down at the police station. Yeah,

George Stephens. Uh, that's the one that went to Australia. Are you
sure? Yeah? Yeah, Well I heard he bought a big farm down
there and was raising ANZACs. That's right, he's unplanted, three thousand acres
of him. Well, if he's not here, I won't trouble you.
You see, I just wanted to look him up. I used to be
a friend of his wife's before she married him. You was a friend of
his wife. Uh? How friendly was you? Well? That friendly Hull?
Certainly, Me and Sapphire were pretty close. You was. Well.
I wouldn't tell Stevens this, of course, but when I used to take
her out, we had a lot of laughs over the pet names she had
for old Stevens. What did she call Old Stephens wet blanket George? You
see, when they had a date, he'd take her home early, shake
hands good night with her at the front door. Then she'd walk through the
house and I'd meet her at the back door. When you met her there,
did you shake hands with her too? Oh? Come now, buster,
Yeah, I'm anxious to see Sapphire again. She sure was a hotpituity.
Confidentially, I used to call her sizzling lips. Sizzling lips. Oh
yeah, I could go on like this about Sapphire for hours. But why
bore you? Yeah? Why do that? Yeah, kingfish, Now I
know what Sapphire was doing while you was having your teeth straighten. Well,
I'm sorry Stevens isn't here. And if you're not sure that he's left the
country, I suppose there are numbers in the phone book. I am bound
to locate Sapphire sooner or later. Yeah, you gonna stay in town?
Or how long? Oh? Yeah, several weeks. I am over at
the Lennox Arms. Thank you for all your help. Yeah, well,
so long, mister Thomas. Well, I hope I get a hold of
Sapphire. Thanks again, nice fellaw. Huh, king fish, What do

engagement. She did too bad, you didn't get in on it. Tell
me this what you gonna do about it? I go go home and have
it out with that woman. Oh and the hu modification of it all.
And you know, when I was coating Selfhire, I used to go over
there and oil deport swing so mama wouldn't get wise and kids. I wanted

case of puppy love. Well, the puppy is now growing up to be
a big saint Bernard, and I don't want him wolf wolfing around my wife.
He told me how he used to kiss you. Oh, don't be
silly, George. The only time I ever kissed their door, Thomas,
was when we was playing post Office. Yeah, well, the way he

an old friend. Say he wants to see us while he's in town.
Well, I was putting my foot down. You ain't seeing that man or
my name in went blanket. Stevens, My George, it won't hurt us
to entertain him while he's in town. Nothing doing. You entertained him enough
twenty four years ago. Why George Stevens, you're jealous. You are jealous
that back towards Romeo. Come around here. But you'm right in the nose
too. Oh George, we was never that serious. Not come on and
calm down, um down, nothing. I ain't having him come around here,
violating the stinctitay of my homes. Oh George, he's so nice and
he's been so successful in business. I don't care. I'll tell him limb
from limb, and he's always been so generous with his money. I'll take
him and I Well, don't just stand there, woman, get him on
the phone and get him up heavython. Oh George, I thought you never
wanted to see him again. I thought you were so jealous. Well,
I didn't like the idea if you smooch him with the boy. But I

What that old gale is ugly clear down to the third vertebrate than sapa.
I don't wonder if Theodore Thomas will think you has changed much. He thought
she was so pretty in the old day. Well, now that the subject
has been brung up so far, I done took the big bulbs out and
put twenty white bulbs in all the lamps. But you still could exercise a
little caution and stick to the shadows. Not old Sapa. That must be
your old boyfriend field Door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see here

or do something nice for you. But for Heaven's sake, you and Andy

door and you remember my mama? Why Missus, I'd know you anywhere.
Yes, it's still the same sweet, charming, gracious person. Oh mister

again. Well, now we was all happy here. Suppose we tire on
the feedback. Andy, you sit down there, Mama, you sit there,
Sapphire, you sit at the head of the table. And where shall
I say? Uh? Right here? Missus Thomas, this place righty?
With dependent the ink in case you want to write out a few checks between
courses. Another piece of cakes be a dark well, I don't know right
ahead. The stuff is expensive, but load up on it. You don't
grudge nothing around here. This has been a delightful dinner. Such a charming
family group. You know what makes me regret, Sapi, that you married
George instead of me. I think I would have been very happy as a
member of the Smith family. I wish I still had the opportunity. Well,
I'm glad you enjoying yourself. Yeah. Thanks, I wish there was
something I could do for all you people. Oh, I'm sure you will
think of some way to express your gratitude even though the banks is closed.
You know, I was just thinking here, George. You say you and
your friend mister Brown are well simmer retired at the moment. Oh, yes,
so yes, sir, they don't cut off our unepployment checks. Well,
I think I could use you two men in my company now that I
am making my headquarters here in New York. Oh you could do, yes,
I could start you at one hundred dollars a week a piece. Of
course, you'd be traveling salesman on the road between here in the South.
Well, I don't know about traveling leaving Sapphire alone here in New York.
Of course, I'll be here to look after her. Oh you would,
well, I oh, George, a hundred dollars a week. Oh,
ain't that wonderful? George? What do you think? And well, Kingfish,
there's only one thing to do. Put the big bulbs back in the
lamp and get out of town. Now, listen to a lady and a
rex al family druggist. I've got such a code of my nose, I
don't know what to do. Way, ma'am. All you need to do
is use rex al nasa thricen naso thriceid. What's that? Rex Alt's marvelous
new nose drops. The antibiotic no that give you two way relief, which
two ways? Well, naser Thrycen quickly reduces nasal congestion, opens up a
stuffy nose, so to speak, and because it contains antibiotic tyro thriycin,
it also inhibits many of the bacteria that contribute to the discomfort of a head
cold. Believe me, that adds up to a wonderful two way relief.
Then give me that name again, quick naser thycin, rex Al's antibiotic nose
drops. Ask for it at rex al drug stares everywhere, and remember you
can depend on any drug product that bears the name rexol. Well, Anny,
just being a traveling salesman away from home in bed is at a sirking
face. And this Charlotte, North Carolina here, this is really a nice
town. A funny thing. Uh. We've been on the road of tenders
and I ain't hit nothing from sapphire usually one eyes away. I guess two
or three nasts to let us from the old girl. You know, I
was just thinking Kingfish. You know, Sapphire up there in New York and
that Theodore Thomas there. You don't think there's any uh handshaking going on on
the back porch, do you know? And all that stuff was before we
was married. Yeah, I guess you're right. Once you got there,
boy, well, drop by the news stand in the labrary the hotel here
and picked up a couple of Lennox Avenue newspaper. I'm gonna keep up with
what's going on back in the neighborhood. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Ah, we'd like to read the society news you see here. The the
peisters had another big party for the four hundred. Just think any mister de
Peyster was nothing until he got that garbage collecting contract from the city. Yeah
that's right, swell. Put that man right where he is today. Yeah,
fun, fun, Say wait a minute, yeah, what is this
doesn't matter? Look at this picture here, Andy, they are sapphire and
a mama. Yeah, and it looks like there is in a nightclub with
that Theodore Thomas too. Yeah. Look at the caption there, says Lennox
Avenues Later's roommance. Pictured above is Sapphire Stevens with Theodore Thomas, wealthy manufacturer,
accompanied by her mother Finns expecting the loopment any moments. Holy macro kingfish.
That's why he done got you out of town. Yeah, any you
was right. Yeah, he say he wished that he could get in the
family, and getting me out of town was the opportunity he been talking about.
Holy smoking fish. This is terrible and us way down here in North
Carolina. What you're gonna do? Well, I tell you, I gotta
do something, Manday, Look at that two times Sapphire there. I know
she must be enjoying herself. Of course she's greening back to her third molar
there, the one with the namo fell off of the Kingfish. You has
got to act fast. The papers say that the elopement may happen any minute,
and it has only one thing to do. I'll have the girl at
the switchboard put in the call to Algonquin J. Calhoun in New York,
and maybe I can get him to put us strain in order on my wife.
Yeah, that's the stuff called Calhoun. That's the thing to do,
all right, I'll say, look at the food on her plate. There
that Theodore really means business. He done open his campaign with a t bone
looking at it. Oh me and I done had the hotel operator to put
the call through the Calhoun hour ago, he said, the lines out of
Charlotte was all busy, and she'd called me back when they was clear.
I tell you in Hello, mister Stevens, this is the hotel operator.
We're ready on your New York call. Well put her through. Hello,
Hello, hell gakuin Jay Calhoun speaking. Oh, mister Calhoun, this is
Seant Collings. I think you got the wrong number. I don't know,
no damn names Sharlotte. Who is this? This is Charlotte, North Carolina?
What was that? Carolina? Carolina? Oh? Hi you Carolina?
What happened to Charlotte? Hello? Hello? Who's this? Oh? This
is the King Fish I down here in the South. Oh what the two
girls doing with you? Calhoun? I ain't with no two gals. I
was here with Andy. Oh just Ander. Hello is this mister Calhoun?
Oh? Hi? And hey, what happened to your voice? Hello?
Hello, Hello Calhoun? That Wasnanda. That was the hotel operator. Man,
you really got a room full of women down call look her eyes in
terrible trouble, and I don't know what to do. That's either just don't
let Carolina find out about Charlotte nor cal who look here, I just found
out that my wife is planning on the looping up there in New York with
the old boyfriend by the name of Theodore Thomas. Oh well, what do
you want me to do? Got the King fee Well, now, look
me and here is leaving for New York tonight, but we have fared their
laboratory loop before we get there. I want you to bust this thing up.
But now I'm gonna do that. I don't know what. You gotta
act fast, have him throw it in jail for wife stealing this uping any
kind of trumped up charge. I'll do the best. King Fine, I
was leaving Charlotte tonight. Yeah, that's a smart thing to do. Wife
trouble. You better leave Carol Lina down that too, Yeah, Amus,
Me and the Kingfish got into town this morning. He's up in his apartment
now. Yeah. Well, and I just can't believe all there is nonsense,
But the King Fish thinking south is going a loop with the old boyfriend
Theodore Thomas. Oh it's legitimate, all right. He say he wanted to
get in the family, and then he sent me in the Kingfish out of
town so he could have a clear field. Well, I still can't believe
that of us, Sapphire. What's this you told me? Calhoun did the
bus this thing up? Oh yeah, he done, swore out a warrant
and had mister Thomas rode in jail for wife stealing. Yeah, it serves
that two times of rite too. Well, I don't know. That seemed
like a terrible thing to do to the man. Well, the Kingfish had
to act fast. If Sapphire had married that other fellow, made the Kingfish
a bigger mystic. George Stevens, this is a terrible thing you've done,
having mister Thomas throwt in jail. Well, you wasn't fooling me. I
knowed what was going on. Jehne. She got out an hour ago,
and he's so mad. He said he'll never speak to none of us again.
And he was so rich and could have done so much for us.
Well, I don't care. I wasn't going to lose yourselfire, I wasn't
gonna take no chances on you looping with that fella me elopin. What is
you talking? That's how wise to you. I see that picture in the
newspaper, and I hear all the talk about him wanting to get into the
family, when he wanted to get in the family, big boom, and
why he was away. He proposed to Mama they was gonna be married next
Saturday. Oh no, friends, missus Harlow Wilcox with three good reasons why
