Not too well I have a little cold and that cat of ours bounced into my room just as I was dozing off Minerva, but she was only playing with her ball Connie I don't mind her playing ball, but I can't handle these nightgames that go into extra innings Believe me the next time Minerva keeps me up. It's not so loud Connie. She'll hear you and you know how sensitive she is She heard us mentioning her name Please mrs. Davis. I know Minerva's bright, but you're attributing an intelligence to her that she doesn't actually possess Oh, but she does. I'm sure she recognizes her name. Oh, that's ridiculous. Listen Minerva.

But if you're only filling in for your friends for half a day, you will be free all afternoon, won't you? Oh, yes, I will I've just got a little errand to attend to and then I'll be free too. Really?

There's some wonderful new television sets in Oh, I'm glad you reminded me mr. Conklin asked me to pick up his set and bring it home to him Oh now don't tell me he finally broke down and bought one. No, he wanted in a radio quiz They called him this morning. He said what a break for him. Where's the set supposed to be right here? Haven't you been notified about it? Not yet. Maybe there's a memo on my desk I'll look as soon as I put these tubes up on that shelf over there Oh, I'll put the tubes away for you. We better find out about mr.

See you later, mr. Hurley. I've got to look for something. Okay Eight portable radios Nine record players. You know, I could just get these two more tubes in this bag. I could save myself a trip Too bad that bag isn't larger. Maybe you could get a piano in there Oh, yes, these big bags do come in handy sometimes don't they? I'm sure they do Perhaps I'd better introduce myself. I'm rj hurley the store detective here What are you doing with those tubes young woman these why I'm just going to put them away on that shelf Hi, mr. Brooks. Oh, oh, hello hurley. Hello Boynton. Do you know this woman? Well, certainly she's mr. Brooks I'm glad to hear it. Sorry. I thought what I thought but suspicion is my business you might say Well, good day folks Oh, he's quite a character. Look here, mr. Brooks. I found this note on my desk addressed to mr. Conklin Let's see. Yeah, it says congratulations, mr. Conklin But the special set you have won will have to be picked up at sherry's downtown warehouse Continued good luck signed wallace bacon quiz master the warehouse. That's quite a ways from here, mr. Brooks You couldn't handle the set by yourself. Well, I promise mr. Conklin.

Oh the brain I'll get him to keep an eye on the department until my friend gets back And I'll go along and help you deliver mr. Conklin's television set great mr. Boynton Then as soon as we've done that we can have the rest of the day to ourselves Right now. Let's walk over to the stock room and get stretch. Are you ready, mr. Brooks? Mr. Boynton.

It says dear osgood conklin Please forgive this oversight, but the warehouse is closed on saturdays If you'll return to sherry's you'll find your television set there signed wallace bacon Oh for heaven's sake. We'll never get out to the country. What do we do now drive back to the store? No, let's be different. Let's walk and carry the car on our shoulder Come on over to the television department mr. Brooks. Maybe stretch snodgrass knows something about this Maybe so he must know something about something. Well, mr. Brooks. Hi mr. Boynton. What do you know? Well, not very much. I'm afraid me either. You're just modest We're supposed to pick up a television set here that mr. Conklin won this morning Has the store manager mentioned it to you stretch? No, ma'am. I haven't seen the manager all morning That didn't receive no memo moranda on it neither No, what memo moranda But I'll go take a look in the stock room Maybe it shut up there while I was out here and if memo moranda didn't show up, maybe karman moranda dropped in No, wait, we've got to get this thing straightened out, mr. Brooks stretch You go into the stock room and see if they know anything about it in there Yes, sir. I'll be back in a jappy Yes stretch do hurry up hurry up Look mr. Boynton, we can't keep mr. Conklin waiting any longer Why don't we just take one of these floor models to him between us? We could handle it easily There's a freight elevator right over there. Mr. Brooks. We have no authorization Oh, it's bound to come through sooner or later if mr. Conklin doesn't get that set today There'll be no living with him for the rest of the semester. Maybe you're right.

Here's a nice one over here Right, let's roll it into the elevator Three speed queen washing machines one two three Five television sets one two three four Four That's funny.

Brooks, I Miss Brooks mr. Boynton That's funny. They must have left Gosh, mr. Conklin will be burning up if you don't get that steady one I know I'll bring one of these floor models over to him at least that'll keep mr.

Store manager here goes for television sets one two three One two three Come along Denon. We've got to get that set in a hurry. Uh, here's the television department Mr. Conklin, maybe you ought to think this thing over and take your time before Thanks to miss Brooks. I have very little time left where she's disappeared.
