make my proposals known to the house on

this and allied matters in the

international trade bill on Monday for

the moment I counsel the right

impatience

life I had never had enough of anything

she doesn't understand me

does your wife understand you mr. Valens

I'm not married but my previous three

wives understood me perfectly which is

why each marriage failed served is

moving how Duluth is doing Janet movie

sort of a husband so-called society

a couple of days invasion he owes unless

the whole unit and charges off across

the desert bang when his r*fle broke his

leg fell down the g*n fit lucky not the

blow his head off

was a messenger messenger well the plan

is to send my speaks down tonight by

special messenger yes you upset about

something

no no just all that our guests Stella

Club

well it all seems fairly clear to me the

car failed to stop you can do what a

pity you couldn't identify the car that

passed you mr. Templin might give us a

lead sir judging the wave was driven up

we'll definitely give you a lead there

perfectly entitled your opinions then

let's get back to the station

I'll see what Thank You nineteen baby

provide don't you think why the fool is

stumped well I think did Oh would mean

there are two keys a little a briefcase

one of the point of origin and the other

in the hands of the recipient the

minister in question am i right

guideline but messenger carries no key

no are these scratches a reason tonight

that's why I think the card had stopped

and the police can't seem to agree with

him police never agree with me like this

you should have been there with your

brush to canvas pebbles there's an

action painting for you Rick car driver

dead at the wheel the th century all

wrapped up in one picture I'm not an

action painter mr. Phillips and that

remark is in dreadful taste life's a

series of bad jokes and death Topsham oh

hey did I say that well who else would

fun you're smoking too Chris

yes I'm very wasn't very important have

the police trace the other car how did

you know there was another car mr. Allen

you said to get out I don't know hmm and

how do I know you're psychic you touch

with the spirits well that makes two of

you shut up

well mr. engineer how did you know there

was another car yes did I you went out

on the terrace wasn't fresh air yes

I didn't very mathematical remark yes I

went out on to Terry not for Fisher just

to look at the Stars and so the other

car back out of Pluto smack into the

Milky Way then you did see the other car

Hey two cars distinctly one and one

makes two

see why it should spoil our plans for

the weekend what happens what those

plans are doesn't it

good morning September why tampering

with material evidence by Franklin

Steiner mr. valence - um if there is

none and I think it's wrong for you to

try to dig beneath the surface of this

tragic but simple affair why because

what I might find because there's

nothing to find

mr. balance you can't be sure about

anything or anyone happy schedule

come on Chris good morning I wasn't you

wish all right then tell me this

what was the name of the messenger uncle

Popat

well it's hardly likely but the man

named Harcourt would have the initials

TJ be on his night visit what are you

getting at

I found this Kn*fe in the car it seems

fairly obvious to me that the owner of

this Kn*fe try to open the case with it

the question is who is TJ be like no

idea you know this is not an ordinary

case that hit-and-run don't you for the

police seem satisfied Chris there's a

unique look in the eyes of a man when

he's confronted with blackmail it's a

strange mixture of fear and v*olence I

know the look you had it on your eyes on

the terrace at the house yesterday you

had it in your eyes huh yes true what do

they want look at my speech on the

international trade bill before Monday

yes where the portent was speculated I

refused but there's only one decent

course open to an hour which it was he

people up myself read my palm in why did

you keep that letter

cuz I'm sentimental or farsighted you've

got a nerve yes I like your brain

although you like to give people the

other impression you see to give that

letter you'll have to be either very

dumb or else very very smart I pay you

the compliment of thinking of smart

you're absolutely right mr. Templar and

I'm not just a pretty face either so

they write about this too

I'll use it if I have to that is if

you're not sensible and what exactly is

being sensible in the circumstances to

collect your reward for working things

out so accurately after all why knock

yourself out doing a Galahad for free on

behalf of the year's prize twits

Christopher Waits do nothing except let

us cut you in what could be fairer than

that

with you I'll bring you the speech not

here Webster Meadows moorings more

private very well when and I'll to what

the outsider and let Chris continue

believing that mr. Templar is still
