 The Craft Foods Company, makers of craft quality foods, presents Harold Perry as the Great Gilder Sleeve. This is a program of special importance because it contains big news for you from the makers of Parquet Margeron. We can't tell you now what the big news is, but just keep tuned to this program. You'll hear all about it before the show is over. Now the Great Gilder Sleeve brought to you tonight by Parquet Margeron. That's P-A-R-K-A-Y. Parquet Margeron made by Craft. This sleeve has been pretty busy lately, what was getting ready for Margerie's wedding at all. But tonight, he set all problems aside, donned his blue search suit and went down to walk his pretty nurse, Catherine Milford, home from the hospital. Man needs a roadmap to find his way around in these hospitals. Let's see, Catherine said she'd meet me on the third floor at the intersection of therapy and pediatrics. Hello, Dr. Gordon. There she is. Hello, Catherine. I'll be just a few minutes. I want to help Dr. Olson with some x-ray pictures. There's a waiting room here if you'd like to sit down. No, I'll just wander around. I'll meet you right here. Yeah, I'll be here. Helping Dr. Olson again, him and his darn x-ray camera. I hope he gets foggy negatives. Wonder why they leave all the doors open here. You can see right in the rooms. That guy doesn't look very sick. Lying in there reading the paper. Wonder what he's in for. He sees me. Hello, how do you feel? What a dirty look. There's something wrong with his liver. Guess I'll go in the waiting room and sit down and see what magazines they have here. Woman's home companion from last October. The odd fellow's annual. Butterick patterns. What a collection. Excuse me, do you mind if I sit down here? What? Oh no, sit right down, madam. Plenty room. It certainly feels good to sit down, doesn't it? Yes, it sure does. Do you know anything about watches? Watches? Well, not very much. I'm in the water business. Well, I'm supposed to meet a friend here at nine o'clock and now my watch has stopped. Maybe you can tell me what's wrong with it. Well, I'm not in the watch business. Yeah, you see, it stopped at five o'clock. She's a genius. It's a good watch. It just won't run. Well, if it's a good watch, it doesn't really matter. Where's Catherine? Yeah, suppose you look at the watch and I'll go out and see what time it is. I'll be right back. Yeah, good. Then I get into these things. Came to a hospital to pick up a nurse and I wind up fixing watches. Little tiny wristwatches. Oop, slipped. Oh, brother, that did it. Right on the marble floor. Well, I'm back. Yeah. Guess what time it is. About your watch. You see, I was just... Oh, did you fix it? Now, wait, I... Well, you did. It's running again. Oh, you're simply wonderful. How'd you do it? Oh, nothing. Just a slip of the wrist. Hey, Throckmorton, shall we go? Oh, Catherine, yeah, let's go. Thank you very much. Yeah, don't mention it. Come along, Catherine. It was very kind of you to wait for me tonight, Throckmorton. Oh, that's all right. I just couldn't tear myself away. It's so interesting watching Dr. Olson work. Oh, it is, eh? The way he handles those intricate machines in X-ray simply fascinating. I can imagine. You can see that he's talented. He has those long, slender fingers. Octopus. I admire men who are skilled with their hands. Don't you, Throckmorton? Well, it'd be kind of embarrassing to admit, Catherine. See, I'm rather clever that way myself. You? Certainly. Handcraft has always been one of my specialties. Yes, indeed. I guess you've never noticed that I have pretty long hands, too. Artistic, a lot of people say. Now, this I never knew about you, Throckmorton. You know what they say, Catherine? Still waters run deep, and I'm a deep river. What do you do? Paint? Carve? No, I like to fix watches. Repair watches? Really, Throckmorton? Well, just as a hobby that is. Remember that lady in the waiting room? Yes. I fixed her little watch as easy as pie. Really? You bet. I'd like to see Dr. Olsen do that. Well, Throckmorton takes a master craftsman to do that kind of work. Where did you learn it? Well, you know how it is with a talent like that. It just sort of comes to you, Catherine, right out of the blue. Oh, this is amazing. Yep. Well, here's my house. If it weren't so late, Throckmorton, I'd ask you in. Well, better luck next time. Watch out for the porch steps? Hmm. Pretty dark. That's all right. If mother hears this, she'll turn on the porch light. In that case, let's go up quietly. I guess mother's asleep. Yeah, bless her little heart. Well, I'll say good night, Throckmorton, and thanks for walking me home. Wait, Catherine. Don't go in yet. I really should. Please, this is the first time I ever said good night to you without the porch light. Throckmorton. Such a beautiful night, Catherine. Would you give me just one little kiss? Well, I... Please. You haven't told me how marjorie is. How's she getting along with plans for the wedding? The wedding plans are going fine, but let's talk about us. Careful. How's Leroy? Leroy's fine. What's he doing? He's making a wedding present for Marjorie in the basement. Really? Careful. What kind of a present? He's making her a foot stool. Oh, my, that's nice. Catherine. Is he making her foot stool by himself? Oh, my goodness. Catherine, we can talk about Leroy any time. I think it's very commendable that he's making a gift for Marjorie. He must be clever with his hands, like you. Well, I imagine I have taught him a few things. I have a workbench in the basement, and I love to use the tools. Oh, I think that's wonderful. A real craftsman like you can do anything. I know one thing I'm not doing too well. Most of all, Rockmorton, I admire a craftsman who's willing to take the time to help a little boy like Leroy. You do? Uh-hmm. Close your eyes, Rockmorton. They're closed. Hee, hee, hee, hee. She kissed me by George. I am a craftsman. I was just going by, Bertie. I don't suppose Mr. Gildersleeves home? No, ma'am. He's at the office. Is that what I can tell you? something I can tell you well I have a little favor I'd like to ask of him you do it for you miss Milford I'm sure well mr.
