Boy.
Look at the outfit from New York let's see the next time you are at it with your
name painted on my head. Yes the big piece of the Billy Joel
from the Hollywood lengthier
a certainly better not to be black and I want to see if you make me see if they'd
like to go in your gold just not in your bureau. Not if you know it's my latest
selection from the book club don't stop reading till I get
a chance to look at it. A little.
Oh my goodness it's
a Hollywood glamour week it's guaranteed to bring new excitement into my life on. I
get my money back. Do I look like
a movie star or am. I can all move the sky name Harpo Marx. That she
was beautiful and I am. Going to brings those
silly kids throwing away their good money or. I hope you didn't break.
That's my genuine Skag wrinkle magic use beauty queen I am. A jointer going to take
you time to class it and see if it lights up the way it's supposed to. You know.
I can't believe it is too good to be true why. This is Scout is coming to look
a sober this was strong you mean you never saw Gladys Stroud's travel column in the
Centerville sun express this strategy that's well not always sure her
recommendation can make
a hotel I've been trying to get here for three years interest means by that
thrilled by your exciting brochure same brochure been senator for four years never
got her excited before hand. I wonder what's in here to fire up or boilers
each floor with its own private bath isn't very exciting most rooms with screens
fly swatters free on request. I wouldn't doubt it enjoy the summer heat without
noisy air conditioner I am. Happy Anyway she's come when.
This was coming just day with this Gladys drought the newspaper columns drought
know when to call center real shine express to stop where they told me you're
already on our way here how can you write so excited. I
am. You call to stop or
he didn't say that did you. That's what I said when did you call this tender Will
son exposed to stop and why did you do that Skip when I got to why the issues I
found out about the mistake or
a stray note of in color right then is this going to be something I can take
standing up or is it
a sitter. For me to be afraid or. What
mistake did you find out about your memory when I told you about making up that
brick your shady wrist hotel of the future I mean the one you were going to use to
get
a big loan to bank the one all of us women pose in tennis courts and so on and I just
wanted a few copies of my birth year and
a future made up to show to the bank. Yet the way this story is going.
Put away the knife. At the time I know but don't put him to action
in my case. Cannot.
Tell them no man at the printing shop made a mistake in E.
Mailed out and called Joe's crazy brochure to our regular mailing list let's the
one to struggle you mean she's coming here expecting to see
a swimming pool and tennis courts own private berths or whatever else what's his
name dreamed up what's his name she means I call your Bijou to mention the person's
name. Couldn't we just explain the mistake to Mrs Sprowl like the owner of the
hotel in Greenville tried to explain to her when she found out his new ship was
Canadian and not French like he had said in his advertisement Oh yes she
practically ran him out of business she even tried to put him in jail for false
advertising and. Family girls anybody
talks to him get her wig taken away. And he knows what's good for him he better get
down to Hooterville and get Mr Strout before she gets on the train and talk around
a common you're well what's he supposed to tell her that woman is supposed to be
a roof Norton she damn well he better tell her the truth and beg her to forgive him
so she won't close us up for false advertising and so she won't put him in jail
that's my advice to him. Oh in just
a minute we're been awful serious about this kind of comical when you think about
it just a little mistake the clue he makes
a. Good to the people I've got news for him it's making up crazy brochures
full of tennis courts women pools and private baths and getting those brochure sent
by mistake to a woman who is more likely going to close me up and deprive
a poor widow of her only means of support when our three fatherless daughters might
be funny to him but to me it's far piece from Barney Google
X.
.
Because Willie trunk is to actually get it must be Mr Strout now don't you be
afraid if you just tell us the truth and throw yourself on an R.C.
Good luck and I see in that you. Throw
myself on your mercy. And I
intend to report you to the Better Business Bureau but ma'am it ain't my fault that
meter jumps ten cents when we had
a buck I was taken off the bill when you get caught see that you're prevented from
cheating the public just ma'am I got me three kids to support
a strong never let sentiment sway her from her duty to
a public. Mercy I'm going to throw myself on I don't think there's enough there to
break the fall. When the second Uncle Joe so long get back from one of the
well it probably took him
a couple of hours of talking to Mrs Drudge to get up the nerve to tell her the
truth you think everything's all right then. By now it's explained all about the
makes up with the brochures and everything and she's had
a good laugh and she's not he went back to Centerville. Must be Uncle Joe now right
this way Mr Strout you see the swimming pool the tennis courts in the morning.
She does have to leave first thing in the morning train doesn't get here till
eleven o'clock now she's still going to want to see the tennis courts and swimming
pool to tell of the truth I don't get hold yourself I've got it all planned Floyd
and Charlie are going to have the train here at eight thirty instead of eleven but
it's crazy She'll be here tonight we'll never make much this trial think she's in
a hotel with private bad swimming pools and it's got it's
a bowling alley in the indoor ice skating rink that's got me worried.
What else did you put in. You better tell me there's no safe in this both being
sick just put yourself in my hands Kate I got into this trouble and I'm going to
get you I just say to yourself I'm leavin myself and Uncle Joe's capable hands. I
just wish there was something less ridiculous I could say. I put her bags in the
room right next to the bath I'm going to put my big radio up there. And this. But
but you remember when I sent for them to
a telephone for their catalog. I'm going to run
a wire from her window down to this then she'll be able to call down for room
service will make out like I got
a switchboard get it oh boy are we going to get it I can't go through with it I'm
going to tell her the truth. So maybe you're right
you probably will close hotels you'll be satisfied just to send me to. Your work
and. Go worry about me they want people to join at rock bottom or the couple of
months back with my heart may not live
a little. Too fake or you get your tail out from between your legs I'll do my best
. And we can make messes Strad think that this is
a first class luxury hotel case you'll never regret it I'm going to run up to her
room. Install his telephone that big radio mike and this is going to be funny. That
I am not you know. Here cuckoo I am one of the Know what I
am. Describing who I am.
My mind was wondering How was dinner wholesome country cooking typical of the
region. So far this seems to be the primitive and I've always imagined I can't
believe it contains the letters facilities described in your brochure. Jayanti keep
it primitive at night you'll see all the lot of stuff in the morning I thought you
said dinner in the crystal room. Pizza room is close for Paris if you crack
crystal So you know about crystals did you just look cross side at them and they.
See Well I think I'll go up to my room and take
a bath Oh may I have my key OK. Thank you.
He mugged Did you see this oh my goodness that salesman from just taking
a bath in Mrs Stroud thinks that's
a private bathroom just stop or tell or anything sure you snapshots I got to go out
the back steps and get that salesman out of the But absolutely I am
a strong this is very. Cold. Oh yes I am
sorry son. You want to start coming up to take
a bottle of. Forgot about the private bath Yeah I'll get him out of here and you go
through the bedroom and clean up that back here. Fire on.
Demonstrators you go down the back stairs and wash off the sun still going to the
Star did you want to see more pictures you can show me the rest of your pictures
later I'm going to take my bat Oh Mr I did welcome to the second floor I say ready
for your madness is proud you certainly do get around are you all right Oh yes yes
just when I read this too fast sometimes I kind of get the bends I am high risk
drug I just put the big radio in your room radio Oh I suppose you don't get
television here well I saw it in Greenville once and I didn't get it there either.
Good radio though was your last you'll quit don't you just get criticized usually
Breyer around people have
a good entertainment outlet said Now Mrs Dobbs you you go ahead take your back and
have a nice soak in
a good night's sleep and we'll see in the morning yes indeed they do things just
pick up the phone the oh would you like a bowl of fruit with some peaches and
a few bananas and that's a good idea how about
a couple of nuts Yes How about that. A
little better. Mrs Stroud wants to make
a phone call and she finds out we don't have any telephone wires and that phone on
the wall is just to give the hotel class keep your mind cheerful she's leaving The
first thing in the morning she won't have time to see anything you have to take our
word for make you feel better well was to go
to the regular That's
a phone around maybe she wants me to come up kick the radio what do I do to get out
make out like your switchboard. Hello this is for each board
speaking. Give a room service please. Just
a moment your connector just
a moment I'll connect you. To the evening room
service. A glass of warm milk right away Mrs Stroud good night.
Good. It was me I was sort of fun I was. Go
ahead she probably wants to order some crackers with the milk was good evening
why it just
a moment room service no Chicago Oh my goodness I am what I say I'm only good for
room service. Lowest out what number rent of six one
five nine a just
a moment so I don't understand and usually in emergencies like this I can manage to
come up with
a brainstorm. Aloma says that's drought
and there was
a storm on the other side of the mountains and some of the telephone line take down
more yes if they get it fixed tonight out. Oh in the morning yes fun good night
going to congratulate me you mean for being smart enough to have made
a road so it's
a great room service. Rare
.
Good morning. Yes Mrs Strouss All right. But you do enough
surely should be done in ten minutes she'd like somebody to take her on
a tour so she can see the tennis courts swimming pool bowling alley indoor ice
skating rink and room. Team Room. I got an idea how but it's one
top steam movie if we do it right we get Mr Strout on that train by eight thirty
and have are convinced that we've got all the things you said we've done that
brought your here's what we're going to do. It will
never work but if everybody does like she's supposed to It'll work I'm still
nervous team room no man's gotta have
a dream Conrad Hilton started with
a dream that we didn't printed up and have it mailed to Mrs Stroud. Comes that all
stations. Money in the road did you see well
a very well thank you are you going to show me around the grounds Oh yes I am but
jumped first I want you to see
a most unusual and fancy elephant if I go for he. Most folks don't
appreciate how charming this elevator is. Why doesn't even work for you don't if
you didn't put your finger right. On I want you to step in here
and get the full flavor. Of. My
oh morning young lady up the tennis court you to your right. I'm good game.
Where are we oh yes the elevator. Pardon me. I think the huge
someone on the bowling alley.
Sorry folks no old Olan until after ten o'clock saying we got
a whopper right. Now where were we again Oh yes yes yes I wonder
why I doubt certain things about bring me to said Billy Stebbins is on the indoor
ice skating rink again. Billy Stedman you're going to have to quit making those
fast stops you're cutting out the ice something awful Now stop it in slow down
Philly Stemmons I said slow down.
Marvelling. Skating Rink
a little close to the bowling alley. Yeah it was but it was work so if you see it
does it keeps the bowlers cool and you automatically lose the game if you knock
over
a ice skater. I think I'd like to see that skating ring you need to be
in the wild but first I want you to see some of the startled fact that I love but
it's no. Big deal now.
To say that you're supposed to use the back stairs when coming from the swimming
pool because the. Kids are just not over here Mrs Stroud.
They really miss I was
a golf course today just lovely eighteen charming holes but of course we blog have
more fun than anybody. The same young lady who just went out to play tennis will go
on with God's purpose work. If anybody using the steam room no one here
has
a good steam. I'm sorry about all the interruptions of us drought
but I just remembered Miss Smith the one who always least esteemed our open excuse
to. Know she wears
a steamy what you call the cops. Close the door Miss Smith your waist in the steam
. Next to Mrs Staines going all over the she.
Does not really step on and off the ice.
I just got to have
a look you may have. Someone
else she's written. I talked about clothes in
a subtle but less in jail what else is there Where is Uncle Joe He went up to Rome
and specially Strout romancer. On the work well he's desperate
says he won't let anyone close up this hotel Well I sure like to hear what goes on
in that room me too no girls you're not going to listen outside that door like
common folks gee whiz gonna do it like ladies with your mother lol. You mean you
don't believe I love you more not ever loved anyone else before you know if
I'm lying on my my no dropoff. I wish I could believe
that for you just in try and what attracted you to me Oh I don't know maybe it was
that little glint of mischief in your eye for that little apple crinkly isn't your
notion. You're just an old faker.
All right I give up if I confessed to lying and false advertising would you promise
just
a blast at me and not her girls you mean those three girls are her daughters yes
ma'am and the other and Kate's killing herself giving them
a good bringing up an education and doing the work of six person running this hotel
and if she was to lose it and I felt I was responsible I just wouldn't feel like
living. I can't hear
a sound to his door. I can't make out words CRN those just
read early American builders. And you won't write anything bad about us in your
column I'm not
a monster you should've told me the truth yesterday when you close that hotel in
Greenville where you were making monster noises at Willie the cab driver well I
guess my bark is
a lot worse than my bite and that fellow in Greenville deserved to be closed up.
To know the cretins might know to see your door while you are
a prince among women. I'm going to tell Kate and the girls the good news.
Oh good I'm glad you're all here could you what happened when you stop worrying
about Mr Strout then she's not closing us up after all. Thank you couldn't.
