this week's episode of Dangerous Assignment. The original air day January seventh, nineteen
fifty three, and the title is Colonel Chan Dangerous Assignment Transcribe, starring Brian
Don Lavelle as Steve Mitchell. Well, yeah, danger is my assignment.
I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce. They all
spell the same thing, though, trouble. But when I walk into the
Commissioner's office, I don't realize that this assignment's going to prove that sometimes the
nicest thing that can happen to a guy is they get kidden. Morning,
Commissioner, you sent for me, Steve. Does a name, Ellis Chan
let mean anything to your Ellis Chandler? Sure? Otherwise known as the notorious
Colonel Chan, Soldier of Fortune. He'd been in the Orient for years.
Do anything for a fast bugg right now, he's in the business of smuggling
guns and ammunition into the islands of the South Pacific. That sounds like Chan,
all right, He's operating an air freight line out of Port Moresby and
New Guinea. We've kept our eye on him for some time. So far
we've been unable to find out who he's working for, where the guns are
coming from China. Probably last night, as Colonel Chand was preparing to take
off from the airstrip at Mowsby, our men decided to close in, but
he managed to get away in a hale of bullets. That guy is as
slippery as an eel in a barrel of oil. You can get very far.
Though. Early this morning his plane crashed in the carl Sea, just
off the Solomon's. A Navor destroyer picked him up. He was badly injured.
Where is he now, Commissioner. The destroyer is taking him back to
the hospital at Port Moresby. Get over there, Steve, check with Jim
Turner. Charge the case. Find out what you can from Colonel chan It's
vitally important we learn who has been buying those guns and smash the operation.
Let's say it. You've got your assignment. Good luck. The National Broadcasting
Company is presenting Dangerous Assignment, starring Brian Don Levy and the role of Steve
Mitchell. Colorful two fisted government agent at all those places of the world where
danger and intrigue walk hand in hand. There you will find Steve Mitchell on
another dangerous assignment. Each Wednesday evening on most NBC stations, you'll hear a
great lineup of stellar radio programs for comedy, Laugh with You, Bet Your
Life, and Groucho Marx Graucho is quick with the quips and his cutting humor
is sure to bring last for you and your whole family. Then from mythical
Summerfield, NBC brings you the Great Guilder Sleeve. It's a laugh pack,
thirty minutes of fun with the Water Commissioner Berdie Martor and all the folks who
drop into Pev's drug store. Yes, keep your entertainment date with the Great
Guilder Sleeve. And from the front pages of America's newspapers, here another authentic
big story. Wednesday's a fine evening for radio entertainment when you set your dial
to the NBC Radio Network. Here, I've got my assignment. Get over
to a hospital at Port Moresby and New Guinna, have a check with a
notorious colonel chand soldier of fortune and find out who hired him to run guns
and amo into the islands at the South Pacific. It's late Wednesday afternoon.
When my plane lands, I hustle over to the hospital. Jim Turner,
are agent in charge of the case, is waiting for me, and from
the expression on his face, I figure I can expect some bad news.
You're too late, Steve. He's dead. Yeah. I died an hour
ago, severe head injury. I went over to his office at the airport
to see if I could turn up anything digit Yeah, A letter got it
right here was in his desk, kind of look signed by a man named
Jarvis. He's a Copra broker as an officer in town. He sent the
letter to Chandler two days ago. Chandler run freight for Jarvis. Now.
In a letter, Jarvis writes that a client of his the name isn't mentioned,
has expressed desire to meet with Chandler personally. Jarvis has arranged for them
to get together on the next trip, meaning that maybe chan was on his
way to meet him when he crashed. That maybe this client of Jarvis is
the mister big we're after, right, I think I ought to pay a
call on friend. Jarvis looks like he's the go between, Come in,
come in, please, thanks, sorry to bother you. Not at all,
not at all. Your name is Winchell Mitchell, Steve Mitchell. Oh
yeah, oh my secretary said it was Winchell. Fool girl never gets anything
right. Do sit up. I thought you might be able to give me
some information, oh, indeed, pertaining to an old friend of mine,
Colonel chan Colonel chan Well, I don't believe that I am familiar. His
real name is Ellis Chandler. Elis Chandler, the flyer. That's right,
by George. You mean to say that Chandler is the well known Colonel chan
Well, Sir, that is a bit of news your old friends. Eh.
Yeah. They told me at the airport that he'd taken a shipment out.
They didn't know when he'd be back. I see, I understand he
runs quite a bit of freight for you. Oh true, true, true,
Copra You know well, i'd hope that if the shipment was yours,
you might be able to tell me where i'd find him. Ah. Oh,
well, I am sorry, mister Mitchell. I'm afraid I can't tell
you he wasn't flying for you then, No, a busy man, our
friend Chandler mister Mitchell flies freight for a good many firms here in the area.
I suggest you may inquire of them, perhaps, Yeah, I guess
I'll do that, mister Jarvith Oh excuse me? Please? Yes, oh
yes, put him on Miss Moon. It's a long distance call from a
client, mister Mitchell. Here, I'll be on my way. I'm sorry
I wasn't able to help you, sir. Well thanks anyway, Steve,
didn't you get anything out of Jervis at all? Well? Just before I
left, his secretary put a call into him, a long distance call from
a client. Oh could have been our mister big wondering what's happened to Chan?
Yeah be nice if we could find out where that call came from.
Uh yeah, let's get out of here, Jim. Okay, look,
Steve, I have an idea. Yeah. The secretary of Jarvis, her
name is miss Moon. She'd know where that long distance call came from.
Is she the friendly type? Very well, if we played our cards right,
she might give out with some information. Huh, you go back to
the hotel. I'll check with you in a while. But what about miss
Moon. That's my cab over there, see it's yeah, Hey, there's
a name in it, Miss Moon. It isn't a mountain goat buster.
I'll see you later. Oh oh, Steve, I've been waiting. Hey,
what happened to you? You're soaking wet here. I've got something for
you, a lily. You can press it in a book sometime. Thanks.
Now, look, Steve, okay, okay. I took Miss Moon
to a quiet little cafe for cocktails. While she's slipping a martini, I
steered the conversation around at Jarvis. So it turns out she hates the guy,
doesn't want to talk about him. Great, so we have another martine.
This loosens her tongue, only her throwing arm. She starts pelting everybody
along the bar with oyster crackers. Now she hates everybody. Oh fine,
sounds like grind of doll to Martini Moon. A fat gent close by calls
her as he combs the crackers out of his hair. I ease her out
of the place and decides she'd better go home. On the way, we
pass a lily pond. That's all brother, I know she wanted to go
in swimming. She shoved before I could refuse the invitation. Well, the
cop show up and I duck out and what happened to to Martini Moon.
Last time I saw her, she was plowing across the pond in the southeasterly
direction, with the gendarmes in hot pursuit. Well, that sure was a
waste of time, not exactly what do you mean that dunking I got in
the lily pond gave me an idea, Jim. According to Jarvis's letter,
Chan and mister Big had never met before. So I become Colonel Chan and
go on to meet the big shot. What why not? Well, Chan
was on his way to meet the big shot, only we don't know where
exactly. What was Chan's position when he crashed, According to the Navy reported
a point some thirty miles off San Cristobal Island. He was headed south,
probably for the New Hebrides group. Okay, so I take a dunking in
the Coral Sea just off the islands. A ship headed in that direction takes
me in. Go on, if the news gets around the grapevine that the
notorious Colonel Chan had crashed and was picked up and was now stranded on one
of the islands, sure I get it. If you can't go to mister
Big he'll come to you. I want this to look as legit as possible.
I'd rather be rescued by someone not in on the act, if you
know what I mean. Okay, while you get into some dry clothes,
let me check with one of our men over in Boogainville. You'll know about
the ships traveling the trader lanes. By sundown, we've completed our plans for
operation Sea Rescue. Two hours later, I'm aboard a Navy flying boat and
we're well out over the Coral Sea, headed for the New Hebrides Islands.
About as far as we go, Steve, while it's going to set her
down, exactly where are with Jim. We're approximately ten miles off the Spiritu
Santo, the largest of the island. That's where we're going. Yeah,
our rescue ship Ou'll be long in an hour or so. Just what you
ordered. Oh, we found out there's a Copra trader out of Bougainville.
The skipper's a shady character named wing Su, affectionately known as pigfoot two toes.
Call has a fundess for pickled pigs feet. He sounds real peachy.
He's well known in the area. Steve has an end with the underworld,
and he's always out for a buck. But watch your step, Colonel Chan.
If the word's gotten out that the real Chan is dead back at Moresby,
you'll want enough. Likewise, don't worry. My will is made out.
You'll get my bicycle clips. A few minutes later, the seaplane sets
down. I pile out in my one man life draft and wait for a
ship and a skipper called wing Su otherwise quaintly known as pig foot. It's
ten minutes of eleven when I look at my watch again, and then I
see a ship approaching. I take the flare out of my pocket. Boo.
It lights up the sky with a pretty red glow. The ship shifts
course and heads for me. It looks like I'm in, but a couple
of minutes later it cooks like I'm going to be done in. The trader
is headed straight for me. I stand up way frantically, but she keeps
coming right at me. Steve Mitchell will continue his dangerous assignment. In just
a moment. Twenty seconds from now, a fire will break out somewhere in
the United States, causing untold misery and devastation. More than eleven thousand persons
are killed annually. By these fires, many more are injured and more than
seven hundred million dollars worth of property is lost. Now, the most tragic
part of this statement lies in the fact that more than ninety percent of all
fires in the home start through sheer carelessness and could be avoided. Here are
a few simple rules of safety which will help you to protect your home and
your loved ones from the ravages of fire. First, do not smoke in
bed or discard lighted cigarettes carelessly. Second, clean out old newspapers, magazines,
and other inflammable debris. Third, promptly repair all defective wiring and electrical
equipment. If a wire looks freight or worn, replace it at once.
Fourth, use only those cleaning fluids which will not burn. And fifth,
be careful with matches, keep them out of the reach of small children.
You can't afford to gamble with fire. The odds are against you every time.
Now back to dangerous assignment and Brian Don Lavella Steve Mitchell. The boat's
almost on top of me. I died the one side is it hits the
raft Suddenly a lion drops beside me. I trab at it and get hauled
up over the side of the corfor trader waddling towards me along the deck is
a putchy gent with a big grin. And when I see what he's going
on, I know I've found my boy Pickfoot. All right, what's all?
Boy's fortunate? You're still alive? You're telling me what's clumsy? Headsman
of mine? Almost hit you? What do you mean? Almost? Very
unfortunate accident accident but happy ending? Huh? Here you like some pigfoot?
Not right now? He's very good. He's also my name, Pickfoot,
real name me wing Sou. For friends call me Pigfoot. You call me
Pickfoot. Two? Thanks you name meg it? Joe? Oh so what
happened? Uh Joe? My plane got tired or so? Very happy for
you? Bigfoot come along in his boat? Yeah? Thanks. Here money
is a little soggy, but you can dry it off. Oh so,
big bankol have an excellent place to dry off, Molly. Maybe you want
a lot, but no thanks. I'll let the rest of it dry off
in my own pocket. Where are we heading? I Spirito Santos. That's
me, There is navy Petropo Tinaya. Maybe you like to be transfer to
a talk If we should run into the patrol boat on the way, and
I just as soon you kept me out of sight or so and curious for
doing it. Oh so ah, what you say your name is? I
told you call me Joe the way pick foots little but nice. Keep flicking
toward me. I can tell he figures he's got distinguished visitor aboard and more
important, chance to pick up a few fast bucks. So far, so
good. We bat two hours later and he's sticking to me like a brother.
He hustles me to a back booth and a waterfront bar. A friend
of mine Ronde's bar can help you, or for instance, for instance,
hello, well hello, oh so Leanna, he's a friend of mine.
Joe, how are you chew better by the minute? Sai down? Thanks?
Well, what can I do for you too? You know that's a
leading question and could easily wait a minute? Are you the friend Pigfoot was
telling me about the one who runs this bar? That's right? Wait over
there need the bar the local law lieutenant Fabiany he's heading this way. Well,
well, well, Leanna, you're perhaps trying to get your license revoked.
I don't understand, lieutenant. I can't think of it. Betther Way
harboring undesirable characters here. Undesirable your friend, Colonel Chan? What you Connel
Chan? So what I thought? I made it clear the last time you
were here two years ago, Colonel Chan, right, you are emphatically not
welcome, and decided I'll give you exactly two hours. Clear out, boys,
I'll shove off when I get ready. I see very well that's your
attitude. You'll spend your time here locked up on your feet, I said,
on your feet, Colonel Chan. Okay, oh, so you ready
to get out of you? Any idea where two three block down little hotel
room and number seven? IM back? You wait there for me? Now
you go quick. Ten minutes later, I'm in a broken down hotel room.
Apparently the plan is still working. Okay, And I just hope I
didn't slug Lieutenant Fabian too hard. Quite an act he put on. Two
hours later, shows up, Oh, entire town and buzzing with story.
How you cleep off of Sakano chain? Now be very difficult for you to
get off island? Now? Great? What can be arranged for one thousand
dollars American? Ordinarily I'd be delighted, tickfoot, but it so happens.
I don't have one thousand dollars American or so perhaps you have a friend with
one thousand American dollar huh yeah, so because a guy I've been doing a
little work for lately. We see, where can I find him? You
say, the news about me is all over the islander. Oh yes,
and just sit tight. I have a hunch he'll find you. Yeah.
I figured that the world will spread through the grape vine that Pickfoot knows where
Colonel Chan is hiding. It'll eventually reach the ears of mister Big, whoever
he is. And that's what I'm counting on. Towards evening, I doze
off, but not for long. Is that he's a your good friend the
pig four? Hello, you are right about what would happened, Connel Chan?
What do you mean after leaving you earlier? Today? I was contacted
by your friend with much money. The man you worked for. Oh yes,
lives on a nearby island. I wish to talk to me. So
I go over and brought him back. Where is he? Hush? He
not far? I take you come. Hey, quite a joint is I'm
glad you'd like you? Leanna quite the gun. We want you to be
our guest you're mister big No, Colonel Chan, but we know who this
mister big as you call him is, and we believe you are quite valuable
to him. No, I get it. You hold me for ransom exactly
Bigfoot? Who will make the arrangements? God, take an Chan to the
cellar. Bigfoot leaves in the guard. A big, rugged looking gent takes
me down to the cellar. Somehow, I've got to get free and follow
Pickfoot because he's obviously going to be heading for the boy who's behind the whole
deal. We stop in front of a heavy door sa I walk into the
room. Then just as he starts to close the door behind me, I
suddenly throw my weight against it. The swings back into him. Before he
can recover his balance, I nail him. I rolled him into a quiet
corner and climb out the window and start after Pickfoot. I spot him down
near the waterfront. He's covering every bar and dive on the street. He
goes in, comes out a minute later, and moves on to the next
one. He must be Fairsty Mitchell. Oh, Lieutenant Fabian, I think
he's rounding up his crew. Oh look, Lieutenant, I'm going to try
and sneak aboard his boat. Why don't you pick up a couple of euro
Men and the boat and tag along where too? If my hunch is right,
to an island inhabited mainly by the gent the real Colonel Chan was working
for the gun Runner. I'm afters. It's dark by now. I slip
aboard Pigfoot's boat without being seen and find a hiding place. Pretty soon Pigfoot
and the rest of his crew come aboard and we shove off. Two hours
later we dock at a small island. I slip over the side, swim
under the little pier, and wade ashore. I spot Pigfoot taking off of
a trail that leads to what looks like a small plantation, and I spot
something else in the underbrush. It looks like abandoned fortifications, probably from the
last war. I get a sudden punch and these over to them. I
find an opening, let myself down into one of the bunkers, and then
I see my hunch is right. Stacks of guns and ammunition all over.
Yeah, this is the gun Runner's headquarters. I'll climb up out of the
bunker and suddenly a guard with a Tommy gun looms up in front of me.
I the surprise is mutual. Before he can pull a trigger, I
knocked the gun out of his hand. Oh, the guard goes down and
stays there. I die, But the Tommy gun got a foot jans down
on my wrist and I look up into a gun barrel. Sorry must Jarvis,
the Copra broker. That is right? What is all? You took
him off? Colonel Chan? Now how you get here? It is not
important right now. And he's not Colonel Chan more like a government agent.
Heh Mitchell, you're doing a talking Jarvis. Where's the real Colonel Chan?
Dead? So that saves me the trouble. You're the boy who has been
running the whole deal. Uh, that's right. Colonel Chan never knew that.
I always postes the go between because I didn't want him to get any
ideas about trying to take over from me. But he got ideas anyway.
Apparently that's why you set up the meeting and knock him off. Well,
a plane crash saved you the trouble. Good. Now, after I take
care of you, please, what about the fief or pickfoot me the job?
Are you kidding? Pickfoot? You tried to pull a fast one on
Jervis by holding me for ransom. But it didn't work. Oh no,
no, please, I was on the trying to keep you in a safe
place so I could deliver you to him. Take a look at his face,
Pickfoot. You think he's gonna buy that story? You know too much
now The only payment you'll get from him is a slug. Oh no,
don't listen to him, Pickfoot, he's talking crazy. As soon as I
take care of him, we'll have our next and lion Pickfoot and you know
it. Oh so sorry, but the better leaves no way. Jarvis takes
his eyes off me just a moment. The swing has gone toward Pickfoot.
That's what I'm waiting for. I grab his arm. I'll take that.
Hey, Hickfoot, you left your sandals, Mitchel, huh oh, Lieutenantabian,
we rounded up Job as his men. Our friend Pickfoot seemed to be
in a hurry. Oh guarantee, he's never moved that fast before. Want
him picked up? After all, he tried to kidnap you, But he
also helped me a moment ago, and he made a break like I was
counting on him too. Now, let's figure he squared things up there all
right. Perhaps we can use him again sometime. Anyway, I say,
who can him? Go and go? Man, he's gone, real gone.
Our star Brian don Levy will return in just a moment. Here's a
tip to help you breeze right through your housework every day of the week.
Join the millions of American homemakers who every day set their radios to NBC and
enjoy the host of popular programs broadcast on most of these same stations. There's
laughter with The Bob Hope Show, Bob and Ray and Dave Garroway. Meredith
Wilson brings informal chatter and music to suit every taste on his show every day,
while Tommy Bartlett presents Welcome travelers from Chicago. Strike it Rich. The
Show with a Heart presents enjoyable listening with Warren Hull. It's NBC's prescription to
chase away your housework blues. So whether you're doing the dishes, dusting,
fixing lunch, sprucing up the house with your vacuum cleaner, or any one
of a million and one things that housework entails, be sure to set your
dial to this NBC station, where you will hear the finest in daytime radio
programs. Remember you'll hear Bob Hope, Dave Garaway, Tommy Bartlett, Bob
and Ray, Meredith Wilson, and Warren Hull Monday through Friday on most NBC
stations. Next week, London, I've got to catch a killer who's got
a seven year head start, and that will be Steve Mitchell's dangerous assignment next
week. Included in tonight's cast were Ray Dietrich, Bill Conrad, Paul Freeze,
Betty lou Gerson, and Don Morrison. This is John Storm Speaking Dangerous
Assignment, starring Brian don Levy in the role of Steve Mitchell if Her Butterfield
as the Commissioner, is written by Bob Right and Adrian John Doe, and
is directed by Bill Karn. Be with us again next week at the same
time, when Brian don Levy is starring in the role of Steve Mitchell will
embark on another transcribed dangerous assignment Tomorrow. Here both Father Knows Best and Truther
Consequences on NBC Welcome Back. It was kind of weird to have Chan as
a nickname for Chandler, particularly in that region of the world, but I
guess it had to be that way for the plot to work with Steve going
under cover. I wonder if it was always intended to be short for Chandler
speaking of things that. I wonder whether it was always that way. The
whole story about Steve's bad date and fell alling into the pond makes me wonder
whether that was initially something that they wanted to have happen on air, and
they just kind of had to cut it down for time. I also don't
understand how falling in gave Steve the idea, but I guess inspiration can be
weird like that. These NBC Network promos are something else I've talked about the
way they described the man called X weirdly as a man who gave up his
name or doesn't have a name with He clearly does in the series, but
in the Great Yildersleeve promo they call Summerfield mythical. It's a fictional town,
but that's not the same thing as mythical. Mintle Earth and Narnia are mythical.
Mayberry is fictitious, and that's the better analogy. All right. Now
that my nitpicking's over, let's tarn new listener comments and feedback, and have
a comment here from Caleb, who writes Adam, hope you and your family
are doing well and had a very merry Christmas. I was extremely excited to
hear a broadcast of Spellbound on the podcast. It's one of my favorite films,
and I thought the radio broadcast was excellent. It definitely benefits from being
an hour rather than a thirty minute show. Thank you for playing it.
Keep up the great work, and excited for all to come next year.
Thanks so much, Caleb and H'llova writes, I love Joseph Cotton. Regarding
the Adventures of the bad Boy, Tam Rights hears an odd bit of per
for old trivia. In the Dark Tower series of novels, Steve and King
named one of the bad guys a henchman, really as Santos Ortega. King
is old enough to have heard Old Time Radio when it was New Time Radio.
It's an odd coincidence, but no stranger than finding a character in an
old radio show that was named Harry Potter. I tried to look up which
one, but the search results are swamped by a character named Harry Potter in
the nineteen eighty six movies Trolls. That's the problems with Google as a research
tool. Recent pop culture references will drown out the actual information you see.
I would agree with you on that tim I use Google quite a bad but
there's so much out there that you really need to massage your search query to
find what you want, and there's definitely an assumption that the newer stuff is
going to be what people are looking for for the most now. Of course,
when it comes to Santos Ortega, it should be said that not only
was mister Ortega active in radio going back to the nineteen thirties, he actually
was active in radio revival programs in the nineteen seventies, most notably the CBS
Radio Mystery Theater that said, I have no doubt that Stephen King has listened
to old time radio and is quite aware of it. And you'll find with
a law of creative times that they are aware of old time radio or classic
films, and they kind of listen to those things, not necessarily intentionally to
inspire them, but you can find ways that it works out in their actual
work. I was actually quite pleased with the feedback we got on this year's
Encore presentations. When I first started doing en Course back in twenty nineteen,
I was not sure that people were going to accept it, because at that
point I'd been putting out a new string of episodes every week for ten years.
I realized that was a bad idea to never ever take a break.
And I've been plays that people not only understand but also appreciate some of the
things that we choose out to go ahead and bring you from our archives,
and that there's a lot of what we've done in the past that listeners haven't
heard before. So again, I really appreciate your feedback on this. Speaking
of which we have another comment, this one from Raymond. The Adventure of
the Bad Boy is nice to have available. The radio work of the prolific
Ellery Queen actually, to cousins not generally extant. It's motif of a possibly
murderous child carried to horrific extremes in The Tragedy of Why nineteen thirty two,
the second of four Drewy Laying detective novels written by Queen, using the Barnaby
ross byline the prevailing Old House maccabb atmosphere of this apparently inspired by ss Van
Dines The Green Murder Case, a tour de force that John Dixon Carr,
a specialist in murder mysteries with supernatural overtones, considered rightly so, in my
opinion, one of the ten best mystery novels ever written. This vintage radio
program commences rather sluglessly to establish the principles, and it's de newman with the
typically over dramatic and unrealistic radiocinations, even featuring the well worn by this time
secret panel and passage is as unbelievable as it is convoluted. But such could
be and remains us entertaining my lovers of such vintage fair me included demonstrating the
impressive inventiveness that was so often seen in the Ellery Queen's writings. Further,
regarding the adventure of the of the Bad Boy, the plot device involving rabbits
being immune to arsenical poisoning is indeed adroit. However, I found nothing to
verify it. While certain animals such as the hedgecog Mondou's honey badger and apossum
are credited with immunity from snake venom, and the anthropoid known as the mellipede
seems to be immune to cyanide, I find no mention of rabbits in such
a context. Well, thank you so much, appreciate your illuminating comments,
Raymond. And then we have some comments from our listener survey. Holly Wright's
wonderful podcast. It's entertaining and also of cultural and historical value. Commentator is
insightful, interesting information, is enjoyable to listen to. And Mike Wrights just

the time, the actors and writers. It's a fantastic show and I listen
every day. Thank you so much. Well, thank you for taking the
time to fill out our listener survey. Now it's time to thank our Patreon

husband has an office upstairs on the seventh floor. Yes, rum seven oh
seven, seven oh seven, Oh no, No, that's an empty office,
an empty office. That's on missus Denbi. Do you know this muded
woman? And I'll raise a veil. Looks like an odd sorted person,
dark clothes and heavily veiled. Well, it's it's Madame Lubin. Who is
Madame Lubin. She's a very fine seamstress. She used to work for Kalette.
Khalette has a fashionable dress shop on the seventh floor of this building,
near my husband's office. Say used to work Do you mean that she left
to let some pluy Yes, yes, some time ago. But she was
such a good seamstress. I had to come to my house occasionally. She
was there only yesterday. Oh, this is off off, missus Dunby.
Have you any idea who might have killed this madame Lubin? Oh? On
earth would I know who killed her? Mister Camillion, what sort of a
question is that? Very good one. I hope you'll be with us then.
