(04:31):
I'm not going to be able togo after all. Oh this is a
shame. Why not, Melvin,I have a previous engagement which he will
make as soon as possible. That'snot so right. You know I told
your Dora we were redecorating the lodgefor the Benevolent Order of Bison. Yes,

I'm sorry to be late, Emason. I had to drop Dora and the

too. Suddenly was that I hada good excuse. Yeah, imagine three
hours on international relationship. I betthey're worse than my ash Tobut relations You
get an Emerson, I get it. Oh you do, yes, Well,
(06:01):
hand me a paint rushing. I'llget to what Foster. The darnest
thing happened tonight. It didn't nobodyremembered to buy brushes, no care,
and here we all were, ourwives were all at the lecture. We
thought it would be so lonesome ifwe all just went home and sat and
we couldn't go back and interrupt thelecture once it started. Oh, he
(06:24):
couldn't do so. The other pointin the waiting war is in the card
room, Foster, how did youget Alison? Boys, let's not play
for chicken feet to night now,Foster, take it easy now with Amison?
When I played bridge oct again?Make an English ill like me?
(06:45):
I am with you. How aboutyou Peters? You name it had a
boy? Shall we say uh aneightieth of a cent? J All eat
Peters fell us. I've been lookingat this place tonight. Eat a big
room, and it might take usa long time to get a repaint.
You're right, Foster, how longis the lecture series? Nine week?
(07:06):
I'd say it would take us aboutnine weeks. That's a swell idea.
One thing though, we stick togetherin this. Nobody tells his wife you've
done right and to send you.We better have a penalty. Okay,
what should have play? I've gotan idea. The guy that spills the
beans has to paint the lodge allby himself. Holy Macro, Foster would
take a guy a month to painterby himself. Man, that's a pretty
(07:27):
steep prish to paint. Well,we have to make it stare Well,
all right, I guess so.I think that's a pretty big four of
it. But okay, well,after all, fellows, I only suggested
it for your protection, to protectyou against your wife. After all,
has no problem in my cars whenI want to play casas hit a Dora,
Dora. Tonight, I am goingout to play cars. Yes,

in the quarter to should be curious? Should ever forgive me? Hey,
Foster, we haven't played this here. We don't play it for me.
You're my pocket. We want toendo U. Now I have to get
off. Yes, I guess Doraknows who's the head of the Foster hold.
(08:16):
Hello, hello Foster. Oh right, funny, I'm just gonna call
you. How I do last night? Well, Foster, I hate to
tell you this bad news. Yep, you paid for the party. I
did. What I lose thirsteen centshad been worried at Hey Emerson, amazon
as he had the eight teen queenssix times of diamonds. Yep, we
(08:39):
went down four tricks on that hand, you walked out on six diamonds.
Wouldn't you think he'd have did him? I can see why he kept still.
Well, i'll see you next Wednesday. Okay, Foster, remember how
mum's the word the duty? Howlong have you been there? Oh?

cloth a father. Yes, hewas buying diamonds. It did diamonds about

it a surprise? Yes, itcertainly is. I heard your say,

certainly it. Remember, Judie,not a word of this to anyone.
(10:11):
Oh, father, you will knowhow I am with a secret, Randolph,
be honest with me. Do youthink I'll ever be a woman of
mystery, intrigue and exoticness? Well, to be honest, Randolph, I
changed my mind. Don't answer thatquestion, Judy. Yes, mother,
I'm going out. Dear missus Emersoncalled wants through the driver to the club.
(10:33):
All right, mother, she letmiss Emerson take the car today.
It's their wedding anniversary. Now there'sa present for you. She hadn't gone

the days ago. She probably wantsto show off for diamond bracelet. So
h for diamond bracelet. Mister Emerson'sgiving her for their anniversary present. Yes,
father told me, oh ye,it was a secret. It certainly
(10:54):
was random. I wouldn't have saidanything about it except that if today's our
anniversary, obviously mister Emerson has givenit to her already. So obviously everybody'll
know about it anyway, was missusEmerson? Obviously? Who will? It's
all right to tell meet you thatyou know how I am with a secret.

Oh, I got it on thebest authority. Well there's the first
(12:01):
time for everything, even after twentytwo years. No. Really, Judy
heard it from her father, whoheard it from mister Emerson and just happened
accidentally to tell me. All right, but if I tell you, promise
not to let on miss Emerson thatyou know until he gives it to you.
All right, it's a diamond braceWhat do you think of that?
(12:24):
Missus Emason, missus Emison? OhGod heavens, I think she's saved me.
Hello Boster, Oh no, Emason, I hear those diamonds kind of
fixed you up the other night.He fixed me up. All right,
(12:46):
Melvin Foster, you pay off.I'll show all this fuss about thirteen cent
No about a diamond bracelet. Myou told Judy I was buying my wife
a diamond bracelet. I told youall that. Oh Emerson, that was
just little Joe hahi yourself. Well, I had to tell Judy something.
See, she came in while Iwas talking to wife, when about your
(13:07):
diamond hat? How if I toldher the truth? Think what would have
happened? To Think? What havehappened? Now? My wife expects a
diamond bracelet in as long as youwere so generous with my money, you
can just go right out and buyher one. Now, Emerson, don't
be ridiculous. I can't afford adiamond bracelet. Okay, then if after
way you feel about it, youcan paint the lodge. Yes, sir,
(13:28):
you can paint it all by yourselftoo. That was the deal.
Well, I can't take time offfor my business to paint the lodge.
So now look, explain to missusEmerson how Judy makes things up. That
teller was all a mistakes. Tellher you tell her? I dare you?
All right, I will. I'mnot afraid of her. I'll just
go right up and I'll say,missus Emerson. I'll say, Missus Emerson,
it did, Yes, gone?How much does the diamond bracelet cost?
(15:26):
And now back to a date withJudy Helms. Mister Foster, what
(16:32):
can I do for you? Icame in to see about a diamond bracelet.
Diamond bracelet, mister Foster, somethingsort of distinctive. But I have
just the thing for you. It'sbeautiful, custom made, exquisite. And
seeing that it's for you, misterPost, I'll let you have a good
half prize that I hate you andto you the price is five thousand dollars.
(17:02):
Well a special bargain to you inthis will I'll tell you why.
But I never believe in taking advantageof anybody. I don't feel I should
accept the sacrifice. Oh now,fast, show me something else, something
not quite so beautiful. First hit, I've shown you everything I have got
(17:29):
in the store I know. Ohno, this here is the only Brason
guy have in which I could setjust one diamond. All right, I'll
take it. Oh say, Ijust happened to think. Guess what,
you won't have to use one ofyour diamond I won't. No, I
just remember I've got a perfectly beautifuldiamond chip in an old thick diamond chit
you didn't put that in? Ilook positive as the statue you met a
(17:53):
sily dolt. Really, mister firstversion that doubts in my mind that burst
diamond bracelet will be the owner oneof them's time in the whole history of
Guimond bracelets. Hello, mister,Hello Judy, how are your inde?
Oh I'm feeling a little middle agedtoday. What can I do for you
(18:18):
kids? Well, mister Oster,this morning I said to myself, Judy
Poster, I said, do yourealize that Christmas will be here? My
find sister talks to such interesting people, mister Aston. And then I said,
Judie, you were so right,And jes think how your whole dear
family worries and worries about us tobuy you for Christmas. Well, mister
Oster, I don't want my dearfamily to worry. So I quickly said
to myself, what shall I doto keep my dear family from worrying about
(18:40):
what to buy me for Christmas?And you answered yourself, go and take
God to presents yourself. Yes,Randolph, That's what I've said, felt
rich. J act that I'll justsort of look around you find me and
casually point out the things that Ilike, And should my dear family come
in here to choose a present forme, you could start of casually point
out when I pointed out to you, Well, now, Judy, that
sounds like a very good idea,guy, Pointy, I knew you'd understand.
(19:02):
J I'll assure Judy, I've gota daughter myself, Jane, She
did you you tell your father I'llhave that diamond brace it ready earlier than
I thought. Diamond bracer my father? Ye? Ches, my father did

to do. Thank you for everythingthat's drift, and I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, goodbye, Jude Randolph,I have a horrible premonission. We'll
take a lash of cool water.It'll probably go away. When father told
me mister Emerson was buying a diamondbrace's for Missus Emerson, he looked right
peculiar. Oh well it looks oneverything that's our father doesn't have a kind
(19:45):
heart. I don't think he wastelling the truth, Judy, our father,
Yes, and this confirmed it,Brandolph, I had just added two
and two once you get father isreally buying a diamond bryce look for mother.
Definitely he just made that up aboutthe Emerson. But why would he
do that? Well, he wasa great eye care mother and selet surpry.
(20:08):
It was possible. But Randolph wasn'tthat silly of him. He shouldn't
know how I am with a secretmother? Hello children, Judy, Missus
Emerson's ever done to excited about anythingin her life as she is about her
diamond bracelet. She got it,No, but she's going to she is
(20:30):
to do What do you mean yousaid she was going to mother. You
mean you child? Her was Yes, dear, I didn't intend to,
but I was practically forced into it. And then she was so surprised she
faded. Americine friends, But mother, that's horrible. I guess the eye
made a mistake. It isn't misterEmerson is buying the diamond bracelet. No,
it's father. He's buying it foryou where I had faded. But
(21:00):
Judy, where would your father getthe money for a diamond bracelet? Maybe
he sold his stamp collection. Ohwell, mister Rackard said, father bought
a diamond graceless? And who elsewould he buy a diamond bracelet for whom?
Yes? Who else? For who? Well? I still don't believe
it. I don't know why youget your ideas, Judy, but this
is ridicular. I'm not going togive him another thought, all right,
(21:22):

(03:46):
want to go? Oh man,who keeps up on things? Like your
parlot. Oh I do, Ido, but he will do it.
It did my rain. Well,now, Melvin, a little rain wouldn't
scare you, wouldn't. How longis the lecture gonna last? Why don't
know? An hour again? Orjust an hour? No, of course
I'll be glad to go, andthen two hours for discussion. I wouldn't
(04:09):
miss a producing two hours for discussion. Oh, now, when you realize
how lucky we are to have theopportunity, Dora, when did you say
this lecture one tomorrow night? Tomorrownight? Oh tomorrow night, that's Wednesday,
the day before Thursday. Oh,Dora, I am sorry, but
(04:31):
I'm not going to be able togo after all. Oh this is a
shame. Why not, Melvin,I have a previous engagement which he will
make as soon as possible. That'snot so right. You know I told
your Dora we were redecorating the lodgefor the Benevolent Order of Bison. Yes,
well, the boys thought they couldsave the lodge some money if we
all got together did it ourselves.And Wednesday night is the night for us
(04:54):
are going to pay? Oh no, Ben, couldn't they get along without
you? Do you want me toshook my duty. No, it's my
obligation that count on me. Theyneed me. I damn well, Magne.
If you feel you absolutely have togo Dora, I do. I'm
(05:14):
really sucked. Now. You andJudy be sure to take very careful notes
so you can tell me all aboutI wish I could go to Oh well,
cheer up Melvi. It's such adisapprovement. So what did you do?
Miss one? Leg or? Ibought season tickets and now are nine
more of the series. You cango to Foster? What kept you?
(05:40):
I'm sorry to be late, Emason. I had to drop Dora and the
kids off at that Hickson lect OhI almost got struck to go to that
too. Suddenly was that I hada good excuse. Yeah, imagine three
hours on international relationship. I betthey're worse than my ash Tobut relations You
get an Emerson, I get it. Oh you do, yes, Well,
(06:01):
hand me a paint rushing. I'llget to what Foster. The darnest
thing happened tonight. It didn't nobodyremembered to buy brushes, no care,
and here we all were, ourwives were all at the lecture. We
thought it would be so lonesome ifwe all just went home and sat and
we couldn't go back and interrupt thelecture once it started. Oh, he
(06:24):
couldn't do so. The other pointin the waiting war is in the card
room, Foster, how did youget Alison? Boys, let's not play
for chicken feet to night now,Foster, take it easy now with Amison?
When I played bridge oct again?Make an English ill like me?
(06:45):
I am with you. How aboutyou Peters? You name it had a
boy? Shall we say uh aneightieth of a cent? J All eat
Peters fell us. I've been lookingat this place tonight. Eat a big
room, and it might take usa long time to get a repaint.
You're right, Foster, how longis the lecture series? Nine week?
(07:06):
I'd say it would take us aboutnine weeks. That's a swell idea.
One thing though, we stick togetherin this. Nobody tells his wife you've
done right and to send you.We better have a penalty. Okay,
what should have play? I've gotan idea. The guy that spills the
beans has to paint the lodge allby himself. Holy Macro, Foster would
take a guy a month to painterby himself. Man, that's a pretty
(07:27):
steep prish to paint. Well,we have to make it stare Well,
all right, I guess so.I think that's a pretty big four of
it. But okay, well,after all, fellows, I only suggested
it for your protection, to protectyou against your wife. After all,
has no problem in my cars whenI want to play casas hit a Dora,
Dora. Tonight, I am goingout to play cars. Yes,
sir, Dora knows who's the headof the cost dehausa. Oh my gosh,
(07:50):
by times eleven o'clock. Oh mygod, I cous picked our up
in the quarter to should be curious? Should ever forgive me? Hey,
Foster, we haven't played this here. We don't play it for me.
You're my pocket. We want toendo U. Now I have to get
off. Yes, I guess Doraknows who's the head of the Foster hold.
(08:16):
Hello, hello Foster. Oh right, funny, I'm just gonna call
you. How I do last night? Well, Foster, I hate to
tell you this bad news. Yep, you paid for the party. I
did. What I lose thirsteen centshad been worried at Hey Emerson, amazon
as he had the eight teen queenssix times of diamonds. Yep, we
(08:39):
went down four tricks on that hand, you walked out on six diamonds.
Wouldn't you think he'd have did him? I can see why he kept still.
Well, i'll see you next Wednesday. Okay, Foster, remember how
mum's the word the duty? Howlong have you been there? Oh?

cloth a father. Yes, hewas buying diamonds. It did diamonds about
diamonds. Well, when I walkedin the room, I heard you mentioned
six diamonds, and naturally, whena girl hears about diamond you can't help.
But listen, diamond is so expensive. I certainly are are you?
Bobby? Am I wife? Areyou buying a diamond? Who? Is
(09:28):
it a surprise? Yes, itcertainly is. I heard your say,
mom's a word. I did?Yes, Father, Judy, all right,
I'll tell you, but you mustn'tbe the wood of it to anybody.
Oh I want father, you seewe fellows? No, it was
this way. Ed Emerson is buyinghis wife a diamond bracelet for their wedding.
(09:50):
Animal three he is a diamond braceI can't believe it, but that's
wonderful diamond bracelet. That's so romantic. It's such an imaginative gift. It's
certainly it. Remember, Judie,not a word of this to anyone.
(10:11):
Oh, father, you will knowhow I am with a secret, Randolph,
be honest with me. Do youthink I'll ever be a woman of
mystery, intrigue and exoticness? Well, to be honest, Randolph, I
changed my mind. Don't answer thatquestion, Judy. Yes, mother,
I'm going out. Dear missus Emersoncalled wants through the driver to the club.
(10:33):
All right, mother, she letmiss Emerson take the car today.
It's their wedding anniversary. Now there'sa present for you. She hadn't gone
to the club in a year.I don't think why she had to pick
the days ago. She probably wantsto show off for diamond bracelet. So
h for diamond bracelet. Mister Emerson'sgiving her for their anniversary present. Yes,
father told me, oh ye,it was a secret. It certainly
(10:54):
was random. I wouldn't have saidanything about it except that if today's our
anniversary, obviously mister Emerson has givenit to her already. So obviously everybody'll
know about it anyway, was missusEmerson? Obviously? Who will? It's
all right to tell meet you thatyou know how I am with a secret.
Oh, I knew it'd be safewith you. Mother, can my
(11:16):
aunt asked? While we're going tomy boudoir, I'm going to try on

I'm sure miss Emerson hasn't forgotten asour anniversary. Well, I just
happen to know that he's bought somethingperfectly wonderful for you. Yes he has.
Oh, I got it on thebest authority. Well there's the first
(12:01):
time for everything, even after twentytwo years. No. Really, Judy
heard it from her father, whoheard it from mister Emerson and just happened
accidentally to tell me. All right, but if I tell you, promise
not to let on miss Emerson thatyou know until he gives it to you.
All right, it's a diamond braceWhat do you think of that?
(12:24):
Missus Emason, missus Emison? OhGod heavens, I think she's saved me.
Hello Boster, Oh no, Emason, I hear those diamonds kind of
fixed you up the other night.He fixed me up. All right,
(12:46):
Melvin Foster, you pay off.I'll show all this fuss about thirteen cent
No about a diamond bracelet. Myou told Judy I was buying my wife
a diamond bracelet. I told youall that. Oh Emerson, that was
just little Joe hahi yourself. Well, I had to tell Judy something.
See, she came in while Iwas talking to wife, when about your
(13:07):
diamond hat? How if I toldher the truth? Think what would have
happened? To Think? What havehappened? Now? My wife expects a
diamond bracelet in as long as youwere so generous with my money, you
can just go right out and buyher one. Now, Emerson, don't
be ridiculous. I can't afford adiamond bracelet. Okay, then if after
way you feel about it, youcan paint the lodge. Yes, sir,
(13:28):
you can paint it all by yourselftoo. That was the deal.
Well, I can't take time offfor my business to paint the lodge.
So now look, explain to missusEmerson how Judy makes things up. That
teller was all a mistakes. Tellher you tell her? I dare you?
All right, I will. I'mnot afraid of her. I'll just
go right up and I'll say,missus Emerson. I'll say, Missus Emerson,
it did, Yes, gone?How much does the diamond bracelet cost?
(15:26):
And now back to a date withJudy Helms. Mister Foster, what
(16:32):
can I do for you? Icame in to see about a diamond bracelet.
Diamond bracelet, mister Foster, somethingsort of distinctive. But I have
just the thing for you. It'sbeautiful, custom made, exquisite. And
seeing that it's for you, misterPost, I'll let you have a good
half prize that I hate you andto you the price is five thousand dollars.
(17:02):
Well a special bargain to you inthis will I'll tell you why.
But I never believe in taking advantageof anybody. I don't feel I should
accept the sacrifice. Oh now,fast, show me something else, something
not quite so beautiful. First hit, I've shown you everything I have got
(17:29):
in the store I know. Ohno, this here is the only Brason
guy have in which I could setjust one diamond. All right, I'll
take it. Oh say, Ijust happened to think. Guess what,
you won't have to use one ofyour diamond I won't. No, I
just remember I've got a perfectly beautifuldiamond chip in an old thick diamond chit
you didn't put that in? Ilook positive as the statue you met a
(17:53):
sily dolt. Really, mister firstversion that doubts in my mind that burst
diamond bracelet will be the owner oneof them's time in the whole history of
Guimond bracelets. Hello, mister,Hello Judy, how are your inde?
Oh I'm feeling a little middle agedtoday. What can I do for you
(18:18):
kids? Well, mister Oster,this morning I said to myself, Judy
Poster, I said, do yourealize that Christmas will be here? My
find sister talks to such interesting people, mister Aston. And then I said,
Judie, you were so right,And jes think how your whole dear
family worries and worries about us tobuy you for Christmas. Well, mister
Oster, I don't want my dearfamily to worry. So I quickly said
to myself, what shall I doto keep my dear family from worrying about
(18:40):
what to buy me for Christmas?And you answered yourself, go and take
God to presents yourself. Yes,Randolph, That's what I've said, felt
rich. J act that I'll justsort of look around you find me and
casually point out the things that Ilike, And should my dear family come
in here to choose a present forme, you could start of casually point
out when I pointed out to you, Well, now, Judy, that
sounds like a very good idea,guy, Pointy, I knew you'd understand.
(19:02):
J I'll assure Judy, I've gota daughter myself, Jane, She
did you you tell your father I'llhave that diamond brace it ready earlier than
I thought. Diamond bracer my father? Ye? Ches, my father did
Yees? Are you sure? Isure? I'm sure. We spent the
whole afternoon year. Oh, comeon, hand off with Tudie, aren't
(19:22):
you then? A toot your Christmaspresents. No, there's something I have
to do. Thank you for everythingthat's drift, and I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, goodbye, Jude Randolph,I have a horrible premonission. We'll
take a lash of cool water.It'll probably go away. When father told
me mister Emerson was buying a diamondbrace's for Missus Emerson, he looked right
peculiar. Oh well it looks oneverything that's our father doesn't have a kind
(19:45):
heart. I don't think he wastelling the truth, Judy, our father,
Yes, and this confirmed it,Brandolph, I had just added two
and two once you get father isreally buying a diamond bryce look for mother.
Definitely he just made that up aboutthe Emerson. But why would he
do that? Well, he wasa great eye care mother and selet surpry.
(20:08):
It was possible. But Randolph wasn'tthat silly of him. He shouldn't
know how I am with a secretmother? Hello children, Judy, Missus
Emerson's ever done to excited about anythingin her life as she is about her
diamond bracelet. She got it,No, but she's going to she is
(20:30):
to do What do you mean yousaid she was going to mother. You
mean you child? Her was Yes, dear, I didn't intend to,
but I was practically forced into it. And then she was so surprised she
faded. Americine friends, But mother, that's horrible. I guess the eye
made a mistake. It isn't misterEmerson is buying the diamond bracelet. No,
it's father. He's buying it foryou where I had faded. But
(21:00):
Judy, where would your father getthe money for a diamond bracelet? Maybe
he sold his stamp collection. Ohwell, mister Rackard said, father bought
a diamond graceless? And who elsewould he buy a diamond bracelet for whom?
Yes? Who else? For who? Well? I still don't believe
it. I don't know why youget your ideas, Judy, but this
is ridicular. I'm not going togive him another thought, all right,
(21:22):
mother, Judy? Yes, Lovey. Do you suppose I could still get
into my black lace dress? Thatblack lace just seems to go so beautifully
with diamonds. Hello, oh Fosters, if this is white man, I
hate to bother you in your office, but would you do me a favorite?

the vicero heads the bison here.Oh no, white Man, I'd certainly
hate to have that thing staring mein the face every morning. Well that's
(22:06):
the way we all felt. Noneof us want to do it. It's
so the best thing we could dois to give it to the low man
in the poker game each week.Oh no, white Man, No,
Melbourne, it's for the line,nobody. It's our You should be proud
to keep it, just as amatter of sentiment. Damn, well,
