 Palm olive soap your beauty hope and luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous Corressible hair bring you our miss Brooke starring Eve Arden Teachers early rising becomes a habit But not to our miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High summer school No, I've always been cautious about anything that's habit forming especially getting up before 7 a.m That's why Mrs. Davis my landlady had a particularly tough time waking me last Friday morning Connie get up Connie. It's 6 30 Come on now get up now Connie. You can't be that sound asleep. You've got one eye open. That's just to see if the other one's tightly shut See you later, Mrs. Davis. You'll see me right now. Come on Connie You'll feel better after a nice breakfast now hurry and get dressed. I've got a surprise for you Not one of your brand new recipes Mrs. Davis Not exactly Connie. I'm doing something to the eggs. That's never been done before Is it legal I'm grilling them Connie good for you, Mrs. Davis and if they don't come clean throw them and solitary How do you like the eggs that way Connie they're surprisingly edible Mrs. Davis You were telling me about your date last night. What happened after mr. Boynton took you to the park. Well First we took a nice long bashful walk around the zoo Then we sat down on mr. Boynton's favorite bench You'd be surprised how cooling and refreshing it was just to sit there Refreshing. Yes. It's right outside the polar bears cage It was a beautiful night mr. Boynton looked up at the full moon then he sighed his lips parted and then he sneezed And was that all Connie certainly not Mrs. Davis. I looked right into his eyes and softly murmured Gesundheit Then he took me home Why I'm surprised at you Connie missing a big opportunity like that. What do you mean Mrs. Davis? You said mr. Boynton sneezed. Yes a man sneezes is very important Connie It isn't something that you can dismiss lightly. What should I have done painted the picture of it? Men are like children Connie They like people to make a fuss over them when they don't feel well as soon as mr. Boynton sneezed You should have treated him for a bad cold treated him But how you should have least have made him a cup of hot tea I would have but the polar bears were using the kettle Mrs. Davis we were in the park then you should have left the park Don't you see Connie every man likes to know that his well-being is a matter of vital importance to his woman But Mrs. Davis, I am not if you'll excuse the expression and I certainly will his woman Never will be unless you take advantage of his natural male weaknesses Remember now Connie the next time mr. Boynton shows the slightest sign of ill health You've got to be a real Florence nightingale Florence nightingale, but I haven't got the voice for it. I mean I Appreciate your infest Mrs. Davis, but if I have to wait until mr. Boynton gets sick before he romances me I'll be too old to enjoy it Healthy as an ox So much the better It's those great big healthy ones who appreciate you most when something does go wrong Oh, that must be Walter Denton. He's giving me a lift to school this morning. Come in Walter. I left the latch off for him Hi, I'm miss Brooks. Hi, Mrs. Davis. Would you like something to eat Walter or have you had breakfast? Yes, thanks Yes, thanks. What he's had breakfast and he'd like something to eat I've got something in the kitchen that you just love Walter one of my latest recipes On second thought I'm not very hungry right now You don't have to be hungry to eat these a friend of mine sent me the recipe all the way from Florida. They're called Pensacola popovers I don't know Mrs. Davis. I'll warm them up a bit and bring in enough for all of us coffee is right on the table Come all right, Mrs. Davis. She's starting to get some weird dishes together sometimes. Yeah, but you can't really blame her Everybody's got some kind of a hobby George Washington liked to go hunting Benjamin Franklin played with a kite Thomas Edison read short stories Then there was Lucretia Borgia You know in a way, I can't help feeling grateful to Mrs. Davis It was one of her cookies that brought true love into my life And how long have you been in love with this cookie, Walter? I'm talking about Harriet Conklin miss Brooks It all started when we first began going together We dropped by to see you after school one day and you weren't in and that's when Mrs. Davis gave me the cookie 20 minutes later. I was sick as a dog Must have been one of her quick acting cookies That's when Harriet first nursed me back to health. Gee prior to that day. I never enjoyed being sick in my life You enjoyed it definitely in fact ever since and I'm sick four or five times a month Of course, it doesn't always work out a take yesterday for instance I had a date with Harriet for the evening and all day long I felt great because when I woke up in the morning I was feeling rotten, but by the time I ate dinner I felt fine again boy was I disappointed What you're driving at by way of the Malayan Peninsula is that it's nice to have someone you like take care of you Oh, it's more than nice miss Brooks. It's it's blissful Why when Harriet puts her little white hand on my fevered brow? She reminds me of Florence nightingale. No Mercedes McMillan As she was a trained nurse who took care of my mother once when I was a little boy. Oh Who's this Florence nightingale? She was in the same racket She was a famous nurse too look Walter, I'd like to ask you something. Oh sure miss Brooks What is it? Do you think a man like mr. Boynton would enjoy being nursed back to health if he became ill? Oh sure he would but there isn't much chance of his becoming ill He's got nerves of steel and his stomach is made of iron must be pretty rough on his shirts Pensacola popovers hot off the griddle, but those are the same kind of cookies. I ate that other time when I Missed Davis. I'll just have some milk. Thanks. What are they made of mrs. Davis? There's nothing extraordinary about the batter Connie I just take a plain whole wheat waffle mix add some sour cream yeast a few raisins and some cucumber rind Then beat it until the caraway seeds are dissolved That's the least you can do for them Davis would you put some of those in a couple of bags for me? I'd like to take them to school to school Connie Yes, mr. Boynton may have an iron stomach, but I think these cookies might rust it a little Morning mr. Boynton may I come in of course miss Brooks here? Let me help you with those packages Oh, just set them on this table here. Yeah, what brings you to school so early this morning the usual thing Walter Denham Actually, I had to stop at the grocers I brought a few things along for you too thought you might want a bite before we have lunch Oh, I can't have lunch with you today. I've been invited to the biology club banquet. It's a stag. I'm afraid. Don't be afraid It might be fun Have a banana mr. Boynton Banana I don't mind if I do I haven't had anything to eat since breakfast and it's almost eight o'clock already You must be starved here. I brought some milk along too. Well, thanks, miss Brooks It's only a pint bottle, but if you're still thirsty, there's some buttermilk right next to it buttermilk Yes, but I don't advise you to drink it right after the sweet milk. No, no eat this chocolate eclair first. I Guess you've heard about my appetite. Honestly, my constitution is so rugged. I can eat nails there in that little bag over there That is why don't you try some of these nice green plums Don't mind if I do Mr. Boynton Yes, miss Brooks. How do you feel? Fine. No spots in front of your eyes or anything. Certainly not. I've never been sick a day in my life I know, but everybody gets a little dizzy or something once in a while. Aren't you a little dizzy? What is all this miss Brooks? Why this sudden solicitude concerning my health? Oh, it's nothing really must be my nursing background. I studied to be a trained nurse, you know No, I didn't know that. What made you take up teaching instead? Just money mad, I guess I kept hearing about school teachers winning the Irish sweepstakes Well, I'd better be getting into my classroom now. Goodbye, mr. Boynton. Bye, miss Brooks Still no spots or anything? Of course not. I feel great. I guess I'd better whip out the popovers Oh, I almost forgot mr. Boynton.

Boyden at 1045 he gracefully accepted two cream puffs and a Logan Berry popsicle At 1130 I brought him a taffy apple on a stick some French pastry and a pineapple malted Shortly before 12 noon. I entered the biology laboratory to claim the body Well, hi miss Brooks say do you have any more of those cookies? I just happened to have another bag of them with me I brought them along in case you were still standing a hungry I'll take two if you don't mind you know those banquets are probably won't serve for hours yet You know it's funny how people are quiet different eating habits Some people like to eat three square meals a day me.

No miss Brooks not until you tell me how much it cost all right it costs 45 cents. Oh, well, thanks a lot Oh, I didn't know you were here miss Brooks. Hello, mr. Conklin. How are you sir?

I'll take it with me. You can't take it with you. I Mean take a couple of them mr. Conklin The reason I dropped in Boyden was to caution you about locking all your cages before leaving school I wouldn't want any of our students to be bitten by one of your experimental animals Oh, you don't have to worry about that mr. Conklin. My animals are all harmless Well, even if they did nip someone there'd be no trouble securing first aid not with miss Brooks around miss Brooks Well, yes, she studied to be a trained nurse, you know before she took up teaching Really? Really then the nursing profession's loss is Madison High School's loss If you ever get a splinter in your finger mr. Conklin be sure to call me I'll be glad to hack it out But before you go mr. Conklin, why don't you help yourself to another one of these cookies very well miss Brooks Be sure and lock those cages Boyden. Oh, yes, sir. Goodbye mr. Conklin Oh What's that mr. Barton? Oh, it's McDougal. Yes, he's eating one of those cookies. I gave it to him a little while ago Oh, look at him miss Brooks. Look how methodically he's eating that shows how intelligent he is It's smart to eat slowly, you know it's smart to eat those cookies slowly Look, he just finished it. Did you enjoy it Mac? Look at him. He's trying to stand on his head Hey, he's hopping all over the cage. Do you think he's looking for another cookie? I think he's looking for a nice pool of alka cells, sir You never know what max is gonna do sometimes he's pretty peculiar Well, I guess I'll take him to my apartment now and get over to that banquet your apartment Well, yes, I don't like to leave Mac alone overnight in the lab here. He gets rather lonesome As a matter of fact, we're good company for each other Mac and I have some pretty gay times now little bachelor apartment I'll bet the joint really jumps Well, we'll have to be running along now miss Brooks. Thanks for everything. Oh, that's all right, mr. Boyden Don't forget the rest of the popovers. Oh, thanks a lot miss Brooks. I'm sorry. I can't take you with me But I'll give you a call tonight.

That's nothing to worry about things are crowded all over This is serious miss Brooks daddy told me you've had training as a nurse Oh, please come into his office right away. All right Harriet But I'd give two weeks salary if Mercedes McMillan were here Mercedes McMillan. She was the Florence Nightingale of Walter Denton's mother I'm glad you got here miss Brooks. How's mr. Conklin feeling Walder? Does that answer your question? Here's miss Brooks, mr. Conklin. Tell me miss Brooks just what was in that cookie I ate If I told you you'd feel worse I'd better get out of here.

It's just I'll get it Hello principal's office gives me a feeling of power Miss Brooks speaking. Hello, miss Brooks. This is mr. Boynton. Could you get over to my place right away? Your place? Yes, I wouldn't ask this. I'll be if it weren't a question of illness illness. I'll be right over Who was that? It was mr. Boynton. He sounded very upset now's your chance miss Brooks It's up to you to nursing back to health Walter, what are you talking about? Well, don't you see miss Brooks can take care of mr. Boynton Just like you take care of me when I'm sick now The first thing you got to do miss Brooks is stop at a hospital supply store for a thermometer a first aid kit Oh, but Walter, please don't interrupt miss Brooks. You've got to do this thing, right? If I were you I'd even get a complete nurses outfit. Don't you think so Harriet? Absolutely miss Brooks He'll just eat it up. Why should that be an exception? There you are Mac just rest on this pillow a while. It's all right. You'll feel better when miss Brooks gets here I hate to leave you while you're feeling like this, but I've got to go to that lunch and come right in miss Brooks Oh, thank heaven. I'm not too late. It is quite serious. I'm afraid but miss Brooks You've got on a nurses uniform. No talking mr. Boynton. You mustn't exert yourself now take this thermometer Just breathe normally Keep it in your mouth, please What do I want with this thermometer? Your pulse is very rapid ought to be checked regularly for long periods Why I might have to sit here holding your hand like this for months Or at least until your pulse is back to normal of course by that time mine will be completely out of control You haven't given me a chance to explain miss Brooks. I'm not the patient You're you're not the patient mr. Boynton. No miss Brooks. In fact, I've got to hurry right over to that lunch And I'm late now, but mr. Boynton. I've got quite an investment in this little occasion That is if you're not the patient who is it's mcdougal mcdougal You can say that again Mac In fact, we can both say it It's just something he ate miss Brooks, but I feel I feel much better now that you're here to sit with him Me look mr. Boynton my folks didn't raise me to be a frog-sitter and if you guys look at the time I really got to run mr. Boynton. I'll only be a few hours miss Brooks. Goodbye, and thanks a lot. Oh Great. Well, I've got the nurse's uniform on. This is as good a time as any to cut my throat Don't get up Mac. I'll answer it Parking the car. He'll be along in a minute as a patient the patient. Oh, he's resting comfortably fine under a hunk of letters Come with me Harriet. He's sitting on a pillow by the window mr. Boynton without telescopic vision I didn't expect you to he's still at the luncheon then who are you nursing at the sound of the gulp It will be exactly my patient Who else when Mac fell victim to the popover plague mr. Boynton drafted me to sit with him But how can you sit with a frog? I use an underslung school stew? Oh, excuse me Harriet It's you Walter. How's everything working out miss Brooks? Are you making a big fuss over him big enough? I've rearranged his pillow for him three times. Well, and tell me miss Brooks when you bent down to fix his pillow Did he put his arms around you? He certainly did all four of them Just follow me Walter Harriet's over there by the window good. I've got a date to get sick with her later on Harriet Mr. Boynton isn't sick at all. It's McDougal McDougal. Yes, he's fallen asleep now, and I'd appreciate it if you don't wake him up I've had my hands full with him for an hour why he's hot You make the explanations Harriet. I'll answer the door, huh? Hello, miss Brooks mr. Conklin come in How do you feel I forgot about my own indisposition as soon as I heard of mr. Boynton's illness When I think of how hard it is to get a good summer school teacher my heart goes out to the poor fellow How typical of you mr. Conklin and may I for just a moment go in and pay my respect to the patient? Well, right now. He's unconscious unconscious miss Brooks. Yes, but I'm sure he'll be croaking any minute Croaking just follow me mr. Conklin. Oh, hello, mr. Conklin daddy. Did miss Brooks tell you not yet Harriet Walter mr. Conklin wants to see the patient. Oh, where did you put him? I thought he'd sleep better in the closet miss Brooks In the closet, but he's a sick man. How can you put him in step aside? I've got to get him out of there Now don't you worry mr. Boynton? I'm here to see that you get everything. Oh, I'm mr. Boynton Mr. Brooks, what's the meaning of this? This man is a fraud You brief him Harriet I've got to answer the phone Hello, hello, miss Brooks. This is mr. Boynton mr. Boynton. I've been expecting you home. Where are you? I'm in the hospital miss Brooks. The hospital? Yes, and I'm not quite clear on how it happened There I was at the luncheon when suddenly without any apparent reason my eyes closed and I slid off my chair to the floor Well, what do you know a delayed popover? Let me ask you the silliest question of the month. Did you eat anything? Well as a matter of fact I did after I had the regular lunch miss Brooks the fellow next to me remarked that he wasn't hungry So I sort of helped him out with his lunch just to be sociable when I woke up I was in the hospital. I suppose you already have a nurse taking care of you. Yes, there are several nurses here But well something's lacking. They're strange as miss Brooks and at a time like this a man should have around him only those He's genuinely fond of That's why I was wondering if if you'd do me a favor a favor. What is it? Would you send McDougal right over here? Mr. Boynton, I'll be only too happy to send McDougal over. Just tell me one thing. What's that miss Brooks? How do you want him boiled or fried?
