Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hamally Soap, Your Beauty Hope and Luster Cream shampoo for soft, glamorous,
caressible hair. Bring you are, Miss Brooks, Darring Eve Arden.
Our Miss Brooks manages to keep pretty busy teaching English
(00:23):
at Madison High School, But in spite of her preoccupation
with her own subject, she's managed to find quite a
bit of time lately.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
To pursue the study of biology.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
One thing is certain, I've spent more time pursuing the
study of biology than the biology teacher is spent pursuing me.
It isn't that mister Boytan doesn't believe in romance. After all,
if it weren't for him, Alice and Vincent, Mabel and
Ted and Bernice and Henry would never have gotten together.
And everybody knows there are six of the happiest rabbits
(00:56):
in town. Anyway, I was pretty surprised last week when
my landlady, missus Davis, told me that mister Boyton had
borrowed my copy of Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac from our library.
We were discussing it last Thursday morning while Missus Davis
was getting breakfast ready.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I can't understand it. Connie Huranoism very romantic. Ply does
mister Bourton read that kind of literature?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I doubt it very much, although he surprised me once
before this when I saw a book on his desk
called Come Fly with Me.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
That sounds like a very racy novel.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
That's what I thought till I saw the rest of
the title that read the Life and Times of an
African Fezzi Fly.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, maybe now that the weather is getting nicer, he'll
borne up a bit. Remember the old saying, in the
spring a young man santy.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Not mister Boyton. He's no fancier in the spring than
he is in the window. Oh that must be Walter Dnham.
I asked him to pick me up this morning. Comeing, Oh,
come in Walter. Thanks, Miss Brooks, come on into the dynads.
I was about to have some breakfast. Will you join me?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
No, thanks, miss Brooks. I couldn't eat a thing, not
the way I feel.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
What's the matter, Walter? Are you ill?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Not physically?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Mentally?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Not mentally either.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
I guess it's what you'd call spiritual maldemare. Do you
know what they say when love enters the heart, appetite
please the stomach?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Who says that I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I guess it's anonymous.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It deserves to be.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Oval. Oh how are you, Missus Davis? Fine?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Thanks, I'll say the place for you right here. Just
it down and we'll have a nice breakfast in the gyppy.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Walder doesn't want anything to eat, Missus Davis. He's got
spiritual malde maare.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
But how about you, Connie.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I've got a big bowl of wheat cakes, better hunging
in the mix master? Or would you rather have a
friday have.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Some fruit juice and coffee, Missus Davis. If I don't
watch my figure now, mister boyn, never will, I'll have my.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Eggs scrambled, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
And just so you shouldn't waste.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
The batter, you can give me a stack of wheats
on the side with maybe a couple of strips of bacon.
Let's see now what was I talking about again?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Abou'd love killing your appetite. Oh yeah, I'm really worried,
miss Brooks. It's about Harriet Conklan.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
She's been very cool to me lately.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Why have you been eating at her home too?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
No, it isn't that. It's his poetry she's been getting lately.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Poetry from whom.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
That's just the trouble. I don't know who from.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You don't know, from whom, I don't.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Know from nothing. Somebody's been sending her love lyrics like mad,
here are your eggs vulletin. Oh thanks, missus Davis.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Miss Brooks, I suspect that the sender of the notes
works around the cafeteria. Why the cafeteria, because that's she
receives most of them. Whoever's writing the poetry has been
sneaking it into her desserts.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
How did you find that out?
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Well, I've been suspicious for over a week, so yesterday,
while Harriet wasn't looking, I switched desserts with her, and
sure enough, tucked right in the middle of my chocolate
Claire Omark.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I am at least I think it was Omark.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I am You mean you're not sure?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Well it was pretty gooey, that's Omark.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I am all right.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Here of the fleet cake ballad. Oh thanks, missus Davis.
Now this thing has got me all at sea, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
I can't sleep at night, I can't study right, I
can't eat. I know.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Here's the Sarah Walter.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Thanks, it's more butter too, please?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Oh sorry, Here you are listen, Walder. Harriet's just like
any other adolescent. She's intrigued with the idea of having
a secret admirer. Receiving anonymous poetry is a very romantic
thing for a young girl.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Can you remember receiving any poetry, miss Brooks, back when
you were young?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I mean just one, Walter, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow sent me
the original copy of Evangelin.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Oh god, now you're kidding me, Miss Brooks. You must
have been a bathing when Longfellow is alive.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I was big for my aide. Look, Walter, there's only
one thing to do, beat this unknown rival of yours
at his own game.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
You mean I should send her some anonymous poems and then,
after a while tell her it's been me all along exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Now doesn't that make you feel better?
Speaker 7 (05:34):
It sure does, oh, missus Davis Kate Walter. On second thought,
I think I will have some breakfast.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
What have you got in the house? You're dark cat's minerve,
But you've beaten everything else.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
And these are the main points of difference in the
sircultary systems of cold and warm blooded animals.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, it'll be all for today.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Excuse me, mister Boyton, but you asked me to wait
after class.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Oh yes, Walter, about that note you were scribbling. Why
you should have been listening to my lecture on the
North American tree toad. Hand it over please, But mister Boynton,
it's personal. I'm sorry, Water. I've got to find out
what it is that's so much more important to you
than the North American tree toad.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, all right, mister Boyton, but you won't learn much
from this.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Let's see. Well, it's a poem. It is but for
you that my heart does beat and over and over,
it does repeat as it says your name. It twists
like a lariat just because your name is Harriet.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Well, mister Boyton, now you know it's Harriet continent. It's
more important to me than a North American tree toad.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
I didn't mean to embarrass your Water. I think our
esteem Principal's daughter is a fine girl. And I'm quite
fond of poetry myself. You are, mister Boyton, Yes, me,
there are things in.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
My life besides toads too.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Really, what.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well?
Speaker 8 (07:08):
One of my favorite bits of verses quite similar to the
one you've written. It goes your name hangs in my
heart like a bell's tongue, and evermore with love, I tremble,
and the bell swings, and then your name rings out.
Everything you do lives in my heart.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, what do you think of it?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
It's very rushy if you ask me, not at all?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
What that's one of the loveliest passages in Ross Dancer
and on the Burgerak. You'd be surprised how efficacious those
lines can be.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I sure would.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Here here, I'll write it down for you.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I'm sure this will help you a great deal in
your pursuit of the fair Harriet.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Do you certainly have a beautiful handwriting, mister Boynton Gosh,
Harriet practically swoons every time you write the questions on
the blackboard.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's very flattering. Water. Hey, you are.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Appreciate this, mister Boynton Gosh, after all the trouble you've
gone to already. I hate to ask you, but if
this works, will you be my best man?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I have sent few Miss Brooks for two reasons, Yes,
mister consent. First, I want you to pick up your
allotment of report cards. You'll find them in one of
those envelopes on the desk. Yes, sir, it's marked for
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Have you got it?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Not yet? Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well, now they're all alphabetically listed.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Are you looking under B?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But you said the envelopes marked for Miss Brooks. I've
been looking under F. I found it, mister, Well.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Take up your lifetime supply of life savers on the
way out. No, the second thing I want you to
do is change my daughter, Harriet's seed in your class.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Why? What's wrong with her present location?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
She's right across the aisle from a case of walking
arrested development called Walter Denton. A very proximity has fostered
an infantile romance, culminating in Harriet's receiving a series of mushy,
ridiculous poems conson Walter didn't say.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Moved him away from my daughter, or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Mister.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The only poem I'm interested in, Miss Brooks, goes yours.
Not to reason why yours, but to do or die.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I believe in private enterprise myself. Good day, Miss Brooks,
Mister Gonson, I have spoken, Yes, Master, I go.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Miss Brooks. Starring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment.
But first, here is Verne Smith. Regardless of age, skin type,
or previous beauty care doctors prove you to me whin

Speaker 10 (10:00):
To win this lovelier complexion, you must stop improper cleansing

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Thirty six doctors leading skin specialists advised using Palmaly soap
this way For one thousand, two hundred eighty five women
with all types of skin young, old, dry, oily, normal,
and using Parmali soap alone, two out of three to
one lovelier complexions. Oily skin looked less oily, dull, drab
skin wonderfully brighter. Coarse looking skin appeared finer. Here's what
(10:30):
the doctor's advised.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
Wash your face with Palmolly soap three times a day,
Massage with pal Molly's Wonderful Beauty ladder to sixty seconds
each time to get pal Molly's full beautifying effect.
Speaker 1 (10:42):

Speaker 1 (11:07):
From your dealer. Now you may win a fortune in cash.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
When I left Missus Conklin's office, I headed for my
classroom again. Hello miss Brooks, Oh, hello Harriet.
Speaker 11 (11:23):
Guess what?
Speaker 12 (11:24):
I just found another poem smuggled into my history book.
And this one is the loveliest one of all, and
the most important too, because I know who said it.
I know at last who my secret.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
Admirer has been.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Look, Olivia, I mean, Harriet.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
Well, you know, quiet handwriting.
Speaker 12 (11:42):
Every time I've seen it on the blackboard, I've practically swooned.
But Missus Brooks, he's well, he's a little older than
I am. And do you think an older man could
become infatuated with a woman my age?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It's happened, but I'd think it over very carefully if
I were you. The first man with whom I fell
madly in love was a little older than I was,
and because of the difference, our romance got nowhere.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Oh were you at the time?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I was three and he was sixty eight. I just
knew it couldn't work out. I figured that by the
time I'd come of age, he would have already went.
Speaker 11 (12:19):
You're just seizing me.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
But this is a serious matter. I've got to let
him know I know who he is.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
How are you going to do that?
Speaker 11 (12:26):
In a very subtle manner, Miss Brooked.
Speaker 12 (12:28):
I'll just give him back his poem without saying a word,
and then he'll know that I know.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
But Harriet, your father doesn't admire your secret admirer. Oh
he will.
Speaker 12 (12:37):
I wish I had an envelope to put this note in,
though I don't want to lose it before I meet him.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Here, if you love, Harriet, we'd like take out these
report cards.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
There you are.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Now, I got to be getting into my room, Harriet.
I've got to sort these cards before my next class.
Speaker 12 (12:55):
Very well, Miss Brooks, and Miss brook Yes, is his
love of wonderful? It's sandy, poor Miss Brooks in love
with the one who loves me.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
But that's life, I guess, the eternal triangle.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh, good morning, Harriet. Have you see Miss Brooks, mister.
Speaker 11 (13:16):
B Oh, dear mister Boyton, dear mister b Or mister
b Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But Harriet just a minute. What's this huenvelope for? Miss Brooks? Oh?
Speaker 8 (13:27):
I guess she wants me to give it to her.
Wonder how kids act sometime?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Busy?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Miss Brooks, Oh, I know, mister Boyton. I was just
starting these cards, and I.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Just dropped in to tell you how much I'm enjoying
the book I borrowed. Of course, what was coaching the
basketball team and all. I haven't finished it, but there
are several passages in it that really remind me of
my youth.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I was a romantic kid, all right.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Them were the days, and I in those days I
had a lot more. Well, if you'll excuse the expression
in test the fortitude.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You mean concerning if you'll excuse the expression girls.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yes, you might not believe this, but I even wrote poetry.
Isn't it silly?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't think it's silly at all.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
You don't, Miss Brooks, if I were to, that is,
if you were to, Yes, mister Boyton, what I mean
is in your honest opinion, Yes, how do you think
a basketball team will make out tonight?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
With you coaching them? They may back right out of
the gym.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
I've got to be running along, Miss Brooks. Maybe we
can discuss her and now again at lunch.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
All right, mister Boyton, but I'm still a little amazed
at your interest in such amorous literature.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Maybe you've underestimated me, Miss Brooks, underestimated you?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yes, I oh, I almost forgot this envelope. It's for you. Well,
so long, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
But mister Boyne, now, what is it all about? What's
in here? Your name hangs in my heart like a
bell tongue, and evermore with love, I tremble, and the
bell swings, and then your name rings out, and everything
you do lived in my heart. Why, mister Boynton, you
(15:11):
underestimated dog you? Well, lunch period finally arrived, and I
hurried into the cafeteria just as mister Boynton got there. This,
of course, was pure coincidence, the same pure coincidence which
has occurred every day for the past two years. The
(15:37):
student's threat to boycott this cafeteria last week seems to
have done some good, doesn't it, mister Boynton?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (15:41):
Yes, indeed, And they've even put flower parts around on
the window sills. Have you noticed them?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Those? I thought those were jars of jello.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, I'm crazy about flowers, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
I've just thought it some from my biology lab, and
they certainly do a lot to relieve the drabness of
a schoolroom.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
So do you, I mean, are flower pots are pretty
expensive luxury for a teacher.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Well, they don't cost anything at all, Miss Brooks. Mister
Cocklan gets them through the school nursery.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You just tell him how many you want.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
He signs the requisition. That's all there is to it.
You ought to get a dozenss olf for your room.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
My room, but it's so crowded. Where would I put.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Them on the window sills?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh that's right. The pupils who sit there could hold
them on their laps.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Well, I suggest you request the small sized pots, Miss Brooks.
You'll be surprised how a few flowers will brighten things up. Frankly,
when I was in your room this morning, it seemed
rather cold.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Cold for a biologist. You're a pretty bad judge of temperature.
That of the flower pots you want, it's flower pots
you'll get. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to
get back to my room before my next class and
make out the requisition.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Certainly, miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But before I go, mister Barton, this interest you have
in flowers. Does it extend to bees?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yes, these fascinating.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh, then you know about the bees and the flowers.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Of course, that's the first thing a biologist has to learn.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But that was quite a while ago, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yes, it was, mister b Yes, don't you.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Think you could use a refresher course? And so I
would like a dozen small flower pots for my window sills.
Co Man, it's me Stretch, Notdgress.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
You gotta help me, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I got a problem, a problem, Stretch.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Yeah, it's about Harriet Conklin.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
No names, please, what's your problem, Stretch.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
As you know, Walter Dtton is my best friend, and
I know he's gone on Harriet Conklin, but I'm gone
on her too. I realized as soon as I seen
her that she was a real gone gal, Miss Brooks,
And even though she's my best friend's girl, I can't
help it.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
I'm gone on her.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Thank you, Nelly Latcher.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Mister Boynton has noticed how it's affecting me. He coaches
me in basketball, you know, and he said, if I
don't snap out of it, I won't get to play
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Why don't you tell Harriet how you feel? About her.
I'm sure mister Conklin would welcome the change.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't want to go with mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Besides, I can't talk at all, hardly when I'm near Harriet.
I get so scared I can't open my mouth.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Sounds like mister Barton coaches you in something besides basketball,
but you.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Don't understand, Miss Brooks. I wouldn't want Harriet to find
out how I feel. I just want to worshiper from afar.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Believe me, Stretch, and I speak from experience. It's no
fun from that distance.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You see Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
For quite a while now, I've been smuggling little notes
to her every day without signing them.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
So you're the one, what one, the one who's been slipping? Oh, Mark,
I am, and the Harriet declares, that's right.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
But I lost the book somewhere, so I had to
make up today's poem myself.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
That's why I came to you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
I want you to hear it and tell me if
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
All right, Stretch, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
To Harriet.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Oh, I love the dear silver that ain't in your hair.
Speaker 13 (18:50):
And the brow that ain't burrowed or wrinkled.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
With care.
Speaker 13 (18:54):
I kissed the dear fingers not toil worn for me.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Oh, I love you, dear Harriet.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, what's the next line?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I couldn't think of another original one, so I just
put down mother McCree. Well, miss Brooks, what's your honest opinion?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
My honest opinion stretch is that it's pretty abominable, no kitten.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And it's the very first poem I ever wrote.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Amazing. I know poets have written for years without getting
that abominable stretch. If you want to make a hit
with Harriet and get her mind off Walter, which you'll
get mister Conkline's mind off me, you'll have to give
her a different.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
Type of poem.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
What do you mean, miss Brooks? Well, something like say,
I've got one right here there, it's all written out
for you.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Let's see your name hangs in my heart like a
bell's tongue, and evermore with love, I'd.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
Tremble this, Brooks.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
What's a bell's tongue?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It's right in front of the bell's tonsil.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
And the bell swings and then your name rings out
and everything you do lives in my heart.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Why do you think of it? Stretched Keen?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
What I like about it. It's just the right size
to fit into a napoleon. I'll go right to the cafeteria.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Now, wait a minute, Stretch, I'd like you to do
something for me first, if you don't mind.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Sure, miss Brooks, what is it?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Just take this requisition to mister Confine's office, will you sure?
Speaker 13 (20:16):
Right away?
Speaker 11 (20:17):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Detours? Now? I want those flower pots as soon as possible.
Speaker 14 (20:20):
Okay, and thanks for the poem, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
Well, if it isn't stretched.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Not ground Harriet.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Gosh, Harriet, you're just the one I wanted to see, Harriet,
even though you're Walter's girl.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I mean, well, I can't help.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But I've just got to tell you how I feel.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
About you, Harriet. I think you're abominable.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
I felt it right from the start.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
There's something I want.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
You to have, Harriet.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Here take it you wait.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
A second, Harriet, I'll walk you down.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I'll hi a stretch.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Pullow, Walter.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I can't talk to you now.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I got to hurry and deliver a message to mister Conflin.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
It's along, Harriet. Goodbuye everybody. What's the matter with him?
Speaker 10 (20:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
He seems awfully makes He told me I was abominaball,
and then he gave me this snow.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
No, what does it say?
Speaker 11 (21:04):
I don't quite understand it.
Speaker 12 (21:06):
It says I would like a dozen small flower pops
from my windows sets.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Ask Miss Brooks to step into my office immediately please now,
then stretch your positive Miss Brooks told you to give
me this note.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Yes, mister Conklin, I see that will be all stretch.
Thank you, Yes, sir, Why mister Conklin.
Speaker 15 (21:37):
Your name hangs in my heart like a bell's sigh,
and evermore with love. I tremble no, come.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
In you sent for me? Yes, Miss Brooks, I did
sit down. Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't know quite how to begin.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
I received john note.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Of course.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Well I never said affected you felt the.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Way you do?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Well, I did decide rather recently, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
But miss Brooks, you know missus Conklin, so well, what
do you suppose she'd say?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Don't you think she'd like the idea? Liked the idea,
mister Conklin. Aren't you exaggerating the importance of my little note?
It isn't as if I'm asking for the moon.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
All I wanted some little ones, little one.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yes, I've got as much right to them as anybody else.
Haven't dine, but Brooks, if it doesn't it is too many.
I'll settle the sixth, and if you don't mind, I'd
like to have them by the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You've been working very hard.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Later, and I know conditions here aren't too good.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Missions aren't too good in any school, mister Conson. That's
one of the reasons I want them.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
To let me review this request.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Miss Brooks, you say you want six little ones by
the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I'd like to string them along my window sill.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Spring them along your windows.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Well that's better than letting them lie around the nursery,
isn't it. But why do you come to me because
you supply the whole school?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Flower pods? I want you to sign the requisition.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
For me, requisition, but I didn't get a requisition. Here's
what's not grass brought me.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Your name hangs in my heart like a bell's tongue.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
Excuse me, daddy, but there's been a terrible mistake.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What are you talking about, Harriet?
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Why aren't you in class Denton?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
It was Stretcher's mistake.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Mister Conklin I guess I got excited.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Oh pardon me, but the door was open, Miss Compton,
and I still boy, what is this a convention? I
heard you were called up on the compt Miss Book,
so I thought i'd come by and see there's anything
I could do.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Oh, that was very sweet of you, mister Barton. It's
about the poem? That was that? That's going on here?
What's all this poem nonsense?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Anyway?
Speaker 12 (24:37):
What don't you see Daddy Stretch gave you the poem
He was planning to give me by mistake.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
But he wasn't the only one that gave Harriet a poem.
I did too, I put one in her history book.
What but it wasn't my idea, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Then whose idea was it?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Do they take women in the foreign legion?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Bebardines dollars less returns in just a moment.

Shampoo, And now once again here is our miss brooks Well.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Harriet was so impressed by Walter's efforts to woo her
away from her secret admirer that she forgot about mister
Boynton and Stretch before you could say your name hangs
in my heart like a tongue in Barney's delicatessen. As
for Stretch, he of course was heartbroken, but out of
his soul shaking anguish came another great original composition, which
(26:36):
he cleverly entitled Melancholy Baby. I had a date with
mister Boynton that night, and while I was waiting for
him to pick me up, Missus Davis and I were
chatting in the living room.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Well, Connie, do you think that his reading Serah and
No will change mister Boynton's dashful attitude?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Anny?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I hope so, missus Davis, he certainly has been backward.
When it comes, I'll get it.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Hello, allo, Miss Brooks, this is mister Boyton. I just
wanted to you know. I've certainly had my eyes open
by this book you loaned me.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
You mean Sarah now, mister Boydon.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Yes, it's wonderful, Miss Brooks, and it's made me realize
something I should have known long ago.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
What's that, mister Boyden?
Speaker 8 (27:10):
I don't read half enough, So if you don't mind,
Miss Brooks, I'd like to call off our day tonight,
stay home and finish the book.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Mister Boyton. Yes, may I suggest another book for you
to read?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
What book is that, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It's called Everything Comes to Him who Waits. But brother,
you're waiting too long.

Our Miss Brooks manages to keep pretty busy teaching English
(00:23):
at Madison High School, But in spite of her preoccupation
with her own subject, she's managed to find quite a
bit of time lately.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
To pursue the study of biology.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
One thing is certain, I've spent more time pursuing the
study of biology than the biology teacher is spent pursuing me.
It isn't that mister Boytan doesn't believe in romance. After all,
if it weren't for him, Alice and Vincent, Mabel and
Ted and Bernice and Henry would never have gotten together.
And everybody knows there are six of the happiest rabbits
(00:56):
in town. Anyway, I was pretty surprised last week when
my landlady, missus Davis, told me that mister Boyton had
borrowed my copy of Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac from our library.
We were discussing it last Thursday morning while Missus Davis
was getting breakfast ready.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I can't understand it. Connie Huranoism very romantic. Ply does
mister Bourton read that kind of literature?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I doubt it very much, although he surprised me once
before this when I saw a book on his desk
called Come Fly with Me.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
That sounds like a very racy novel.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
That's what I thought till I saw the rest of
the title that read the Life and Times of an
African Fezzi Fly.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, maybe now that the weather is getting nicer, he'll
borne up a bit. Remember the old saying, in the
spring a young man santy.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Not mister Boyton. He's no fancier in the spring than
he is in the window. Oh that must be Walter Dnham.
I asked him to pick me up this morning. Comeing, Oh,
come in Walter. Thanks, Miss Brooks, come on into the dynads.
I was about to have some breakfast. Will you join me?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
No, thanks, miss Brooks. I couldn't eat a thing, not
the way I feel.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
What's the matter, Walter? Are you ill?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Not physically?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Mentally?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Not mentally either.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
I guess it's what you'd call spiritual maldemare. Do you
know what they say when love enters the heart, appetite
please the stomach?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Who says that I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I guess it's anonymous.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It deserves to be.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Oval. Oh how are you, Missus Davis? Fine?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Thanks, I'll say the place for you right here. Just
it down and we'll have a nice breakfast in the gyppy.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Walder doesn't want anything to eat, Missus Davis. He's got
spiritual malde maare.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
But how about you, Connie.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I've got a big bowl of wheat cakes, better hunging
in the mix master? Or would you rather have a
friday have.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Some fruit juice and coffee, Missus Davis. If I don't
watch my figure now, mister boyn, never will, I'll have my.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Eggs scrambled, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
And just so you shouldn't waste.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
The batter, you can give me a stack of wheats
on the side with maybe a couple of strips of bacon.
Let's see now what was I talking about again?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Abou'd love killing your appetite. Oh yeah, I'm really worried,
miss Brooks. It's about Harriet Conklan.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
She's been very cool to me lately.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Why have you been eating at her home too?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
No, it isn't that. It's his poetry she's been getting lately.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Poetry from whom.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
That's just the trouble. I don't know who from.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You don't know, from whom, I don't.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Know from nothing. Somebody's been sending her love lyrics like mad,
here are your eggs vulletin. Oh thanks, missus Davis.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Miss Brooks, I suspect that the sender of the notes
works around the cafeteria. Why the cafeteria, because that's she
receives most of them. Whoever's writing the poetry has been
sneaking it into her desserts.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
How did you find that out?
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Well, I've been suspicious for over a week, so yesterday,
while Harriet wasn't looking, I switched desserts with her, and
sure enough, tucked right in the middle of my chocolate
Claire Omark.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I am at least I think it was Omark.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I am You mean you're not sure?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Well it was pretty gooey, that's Omark.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I am all right.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Here of the fleet cake ballad. Oh thanks, missus Davis.
Now this thing has got me all at sea, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
I can't sleep at night, I can't study right, I
can't eat. I know.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Here's the Sarah Walter.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Thanks, it's more butter too, please?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Oh sorry, Here you are listen, Walder. Harriet's just like
any other adolescent. She's intrigued with the idea of having
a secret admirer. Receiving anonymous poetry is a very romantic
thing for a young girl.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Can you remember receiving any poetry, miss Brooks, back when
you were young?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I mean just one, Walter, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow sent me
the original copy of Evangelin.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Oh god, now you're kidding me, Miss Brooks. You must
have been a bathing when Longfellow is alive.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I was big for my aide. Look, Walter, there's only
one thing to do, beat this unknown rival of yours
at his own game.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
You mean I should send her some anonymous poems and then,
after a while tell her it's been me all along exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Now doesn't that make you feel better?
Speaker 7 (05:34):
It sure does, oh, missus Davis Kate Walter. On second thought,
I think I will have some breakfast.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
What have you got in the house? You're dark cat's minerve,
But you've beaten everything else.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
And these are the main points of difference in the
sircultary systems of cold and warm blooded animals.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, it'll be all for today.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Excuse me, mister Boyton, but you asked me to wait
after class.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Oh yes, Walter, about that note you were scribbling. Why
you should have been listening to my lecture on the
North American tree toad. Hand it over please, But mister Boynton,
it's personal. I'm sorry, Water. I've got to find out
what it is that's so much more important to you
than the North American tree toad.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, all right, mister Boyton, but you won't learn much
from this.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Let's see. Well, it's a poem. It is but for
you that my heart does beat and over and over,
it does repeat as it says your name. It twists
like a lariat just because your name is Harriet.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Well, mister Boyton, now you know it's Harriet continent. It's
more important to me than a North American tree toad.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
I didn't mean to embarrass your Water. I think our
esteem Principal's daughter is a fine girl. And I'm quite
fond of poetry myself. You are, mister Boyton, Yes, me,
there are things in.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
My life besides toads too.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Really, what.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well?
Speaker 8 (07:08):
One of my favorite bits of verses quite similar to the
one you've written. It goes your name hangs in my
heart like a bell's tongue, and evermore with love, I tremble,
and the bell swings, and then your name rings out.
Everything you do lives in my heart.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, what do you think of it?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
It's very rushy if you ask me, not at all?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
What that's one of the loveliest passages in Ross Dancer
and on the Burgerak. You'd be surprised how efficacious those
lines can be.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I sure would.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Here here, I'll write it down for you.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I'm sure this will help you a great deal in
your pursuit of the fair Harriet.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Do you certainly have a beautiful handwriting, mister Boynton Gosh,
Harriet practically swoons every time you write the questions on
the blackboard.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's very flattering. Water. Hey, you are.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Appreciate this, mister Boynton Gosh, after all the trouble you've
gone to already. I hate to ask you, but if
this works, will you be my best man?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I have sent few Miss Brooks for two reasons, Yes,
mister consent. First, I want you to pick up your
allotment of report cards. You'll find them in one of
those envelopes on the desk. Yes, sir, it's marked for
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Have you got it?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Not yet? Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well, now they're all alphabetically listed.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Are you looking under B?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But you said the envelopes marked for Miss Brooks. I've
been looking under F. I found it, mister, Well.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Take up your lifetime supply of life savers on the
way out. No, the second thing I want you to
do is change my daughter, Harriet's seed in your class.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Why? What's wrong with her present location?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
She's right across the aisle from a case of walking
arrested development called Walter Denton. A very proximity has fostered
an infantile romance, culminating in Harriet's receiving a series of mushy,
ridiculous poems conson Walter didn't say.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Moved him away from my daughter, or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Mister.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
The only poem I'm interested in, Miss Brooks, goes yours.
Not to reason why yours, but to do or die.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I believe in private enterprise myself. Good day, Miss Brooks,
Mister Gonson, I have spoken, Yes, Master, I go.
Speaker 1 (09:47):

Speaker 3 (11:17):
When I left Missus Conklin's office, I headed for my
classroom again. Hello miss Brooks, Oh, hello Harriet.
Speaker 11 (11:23):
Guess what?
Speaker 12 (11:24):
I just found another poem smuggled into my history book.
And this one is the loveliest one of all, and
the most important too, because I know who said it.
I know at last who my secret.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
Admirer has been.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Look, Olivia, I mean, Harriet.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
Well, you know, quiet handwriting.
Speaker 12 (11:42):
Every time I've seen it on the blackboard, I've practically swooned.
But Missus Brooks, he's well, he's a little older than
I am. And do you think an older man could
become infatuated with a woman my age?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It's happened, but I'd think it over very carefully if
I were you. The first man with whom I fell
madly in love was a little older than I was,
and because of the difference, our romance got nowhere.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Oh were you at the time?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I was three and he was sixty eight. I just
knew it couldn't work out. I figured that by the
time I'd come of age, he would have already went.
Speaker 11 (12:19):
You're just seizing me.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
But this is a serious matter. I've got to let
him know I know who he is.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
How are you going to do that?
Speaker 11 (12:26):
In a very subtle manner, Miss Brooked.
Speaker 12 (12:28):
I'll just give him back his poem without saying a word,
and then he'll know that I know.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
But Harriet, your father doesn't admire your secret admirer. Oh
he will.
Speaker 12 (12:37):
I wish I had an envelope to put this note in,
though I don't want to lose it before I meet him.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Here, if you love, Harriet, we'd like take out these
report cards.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
There you are.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Now, I got to be getting into my room, Harriet.
I've got to sort these cards before my next class.
Speaker 12 (12:55):
Very well, Miss Brooks, and Miss brook Yes, is his
love of wonderful? It's sandy, poor Miss Brooks in love
with the one who loves me.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
But that's life, I guess, the eternal triangle.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh, good morning, Harriet. Have you see Miss Brooks, mister.
Speaker 11 (13:16):
B Oh, dear mister Boyton, dear mister b Or mister
b Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But Harriet just a minute. What's this huenvelope for? Miss Brooks? Oh?
Speaker 8 (13:27):
I guess she wants me to give it to her.
Wonder how kids act sometime?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Busy?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Miss Brooks, Oh, I know, mister Boyton. I was just
starting these cards, and I.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Just dropped in to tell you how much I'm enjoying
the book I borrowed. Of course, what was coaching the
basketball team and all. I haven't finished it, but there
are several passages in it that really remind me of
my youth.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I was a romantic kid, all right.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Them were the days, and I in those days I
had a lot more. Well, if you'll excuse the expression
in test the fortitude.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You mean concerning if you'll excuse the expression girls.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yes, you might not believe this, but I even wrote poetry.
Isn't it silly?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't think it's silly at all.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
You don't, Miss Brooks, if I were to, that is,
if you were to, Yes, mister Boyton, what I mean
is in your honest opinion, Yes, how do you think
a basketball team will make out tonight?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
With you coaching them? They may back right out of
the gym.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
I've got to be running along, Miss Brooks. Maybe we
can discuss her and now again at lunch.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
All right, mister Boyton, but I'm still a little amazed
at your interest in such amorous literature.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Maybe you've underestimated me, Miss Brooks, underestimated you?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yes, I oh, I almost forgot this envelope. It's for you. Well,
so long, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
But mister Boyne, now, what is it all about? What's
in here? Your name hangs in my heart like a
bell tongue, and evermore with love, I tremble, and the
bell swings, and then your name rings out, and everything
you do lived in my heart. Why, mister Boynton, you
(15:11):
underestimated dog you? Well, lunch period finally arrived, and I
hurried into the cafeteria just as mister Boynton got there. This,
of course, was pure coincidence, the same pure coincidence which
has occurred every day for the past two years. The
(15:37):
student's threat to boycott this cafeteria last week seems to
have done some good, doesn't it, mister Boynton?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (15:41):
Yes, indeed, And they've even put flower parts around on
the window sills. Have you noticed them?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Those? I thought those were jars of jello.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, I'm crazy about flowers, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
I've just thought it some from my biology lab, and
they certainly do a lot to relieve the drabness of
a schoolroom.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
So do you, I mean, are flower pots are pretty
expensive luxury for a teacher.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Well, they don't cost anything at all, Miss Brooks. Mister
Cocklan gets them through the school nursery.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You just tell him how many you want.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
He signs the requisition. That's all there is to it.
You ought to get a dozenss olf for your room.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
My room, but it's so crowded. Where would I put.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Them on the window sills?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh that's right. The pupils who sit there could hold
them on their laps.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Well, I suggest you request the small sized pots, Miss Brooks.
You'll be surprised how a few flowers will brighten things up. Frankly,
when I was in your room this morning, it seemed
rather cold.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Cold for a biologist. You're a pretty bad judge of temperature.
That of the flower pots you want, it's flower pots
you'll get. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to
get back to my room before my next class and
make out the requisition.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Certainly, miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But before I go, mister Barton, this interest you have
in flowers. Does it extend to bees?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yes, these fascinating.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh, then you know about the bees and the flowers.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Of course, that's the first thing a biologist has to learn.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But that was quite a while ago, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yes, it was, mister b Yes, don't you.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Think you could use a refresher course? And so I
would like a dozen small flower pots for my window sills.
Co Man, it's me Stretch, Notdgress.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
You gotta help me, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I got a problem, a problem, Stretch.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Yeah, it's about Harriet Conklin.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
No names, please, what's your problem, Stretch.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
As you know, Walter Dtton is my best friend, and
I know he's gone on Harriet Conklin, but I'm gone
on her too. I realized as soon as I seen
her that she was a real gone gal, Miss Brooks,
And even though she's my best friend's girl, I can't
help it.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
I'm gone on her.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Thank you, Nelly Latcher.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Mister Boynton has noticed how it's affecting me. He coaches
me in basketball, you know, and he said, if I
don't snap out of it, I won't get to play
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Why don't you tell Harriet how you feel? About her.
I'm sure mister Conklin would welcome the change.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't want to go with mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Besides, I can't talk at all, hardly when I'm near Harriet.
I get so scared I can't open my mouth.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Sounds like mister Barton coaches you in something besides basketball,
but you.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Don't understand, Miss Brooks. I wouldn't want Harriet to find
out how I feel. I just want to worshiper from afar.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Believe me, Stretch, and I speak from experience. It's no
fun from that distance.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You see Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
For quite a while now, I've been smuggling little notes
to her every day without signing them.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
So you're the one, what one, the one who's been slipping? Oh, Mark,
I am, and the Harriet declares, that's right.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
But I lost the book somewhere, so I had to
make up today's poem myself.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
That's why I came to you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
I want you to hear it and tell me if
it's okay.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
All right, Stretch, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
To Harriet.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Oh, I love the dear silver that ain't in your hair.
Speaker 13 (18:50):
And the brow that ain't burrowed or wrinkled.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
With care.
Speaker 13 (18:54):
I kissed the dear fingers not toil worn for me.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Oh, I love you, dear Harriet.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, what's the next line?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I couldn't think of another original one, so I just
put down mother McCree. Well, miss Brooks, what's your honest opinion?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
My honest opinion stretch is that it's pretty abominable, no kitten.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And it's the very first poem I ever wrote.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Amazing. I know poets have written for years without getting
that abominable stretch. If you want to make a hit
with Harriet and get her mind off Walter, which you'll
get mister Conkline's mind off me, you'll have to give
her a different.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
Type of poem.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
What do you mean, miss Brooks? Well, something like say,
I've got one right here there, it's all written out
for you.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Let's see your name hangs in my heart like a
bell's tongue, and evermore with love, I'd.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
Tremble this, Brooks.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
What's a bell's tongue?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It's right in front of the bell's tonsil.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
And the bell swings and then your name rings out
and everything you do lives in my heart.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Why do you think of it? Stretched Keen?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
What I like about it. It's just the right size
to fit into a napoleon. I'll go right to the cafeteria.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Now, wait a minute, Stretch, I'd like you to do
something for me first, if you don't mind.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Sure, miss Brooks, what is it?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Just take this requisition to mister Confine's office, will you sure?
Speaker 13 (20:16):
Right away?
Speaker 11 (20:17):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Detours? Now? I want those flower pots as soon as possible.
Speaker 14 (20:20):
Okay, and thanks for the poem, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
Well, if it isn't stretched.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Not ground Harriet.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Gosh, Harriet, you're just the one I wanted to see, Harriet,
even though you're Walter's girl.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I mean, well, I can't help.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But I've just got to tell you how I feel.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
About you, Harriet. I think you're abominable.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
I felt it right from the start.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
There's something I want.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
You to have, Harriet.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Here take it you wait.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
A second, Harriet, I'll walk you down.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I'll hi a stretch.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Pullow, Walter.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I can't talk to you now.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I got to hurry and deliver a message to mister Conflin.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
It's along, Harriet. Goodbuye everybody. What's the matter with him?
Speaker 10 (20:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
He seems awfully makes He told me I was abominaball,
and then he gave me this snow.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
No, what does it say?
Speaker 11 (21:04):
I don't quite understand it.
Speaker 12 (21:06):
It says I would like a dozen small flower pops
from my windows sets.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Ask Miss Brooks to step into my office immediately please now,
then stretch your positive Miss Brooks told you to give
me this note.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Yes, mister Conklin, I see that will be all stretch.
Thank you, Yes, sir, Why mister Conklin.
Speaker 15 (21:37):
Your name hangs in my heart like a bell's sigh,
and evermore with love. I tremble no, come.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
In you sent for me? Yes, Miss Brooks, I did
sit down. Thank you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't know quite how to begin.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
I received john note.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Of course.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Well I never said affected you felt the.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Way you do?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Well, I did decide rather recently, mister Conklin.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
But miss Brooks, you know missus Conklin, so well, what
do you suppose she'd say?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Don't you think she'd like the idea? Liked the idea,
mister Conklin. Aren't you exaggerating the importance of my little note?
It isn't as if I'm asking for the moon.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
All I wanted some little ones, little one.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yes, I've got as much right to them as anybody else.
Haven't dine, but Brooks, if it doesn't it is too many.
I'll settle the sixth, and if you don't mind, I'd
like to have them by the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You've been working very hard.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Later, and I know conditions here aren't too good.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Missions aren't too good in any school, mister Conson. That's
one of the reasons I want them.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
To let me review this request.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Miss Brooks, you say you want six little ones by
the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I'd like to string them along my window sill.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Spring them along your windows.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Well that's better than letting them lie around the nursery,
isn't it. But why do you come to me because
you supply the whole school?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 9 (23:56):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Flower pods? I want you to sign the requisition.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
For me, requisition, but I didn't get a requisition. Here's
what's not grass brought me.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Your name hangs in my heart like a bell's tongue.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
Excuse me, daddy, but there's been a terrible mistake.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What are you talking about, Harriet?
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Why aren't you in class Denton?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
It was Stretcher's mistake.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Mister Conklin I guess I got excited.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Oh pardon me, but the door was open, Miss Compton,
and I still boy, what is this a convention? I
heard you were called up on the compt Miss Book,
so I thought i'd come by and see there's anything
I could do.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Oh, that was very sweet of you, mister Barton. It's
about the poem? That was that? That's going on here?
What's all this poem nonsense?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Anyway?
Speaker 12 (24:37):
What don't you see Daddy Stretch gave you the poem
He was planning to give me by mistake.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
But he wasn't the only one that gave Harriet a poem.
I did too, I put one in her history book.
What but it wasn't my idea, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Then whose idea was it?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Harriet was so impressed by Walter's efforts to woo her
away from her secret admirer that she forgot about mister
Boynton and Stretch before you could say your name hangs
in my heart like a tongue in Barney's delicatessen. As
for Stretch, he of course was heartbroken, but out of
his soul shaking anguish came another great original composition, which
(26:36):
he cleverly entitled Melancholy Baby. I had a date with
mister Boynton that night, and while I was waiting for
him to pick me up, Missus Davis and I were
chatting in the living room.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Well, Connie, do you think that his reading Serah and
No will change mister Boynton's dashful attitude?

Anny?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I hope so, missus Davis, he certainly has been backward.
When it comes, I'll get it.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Hello, allo, Miss Brooks, this is mister Boyton. I just
wanted to you know. I've certainly had my eyes open
by this book you loaned me.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
You mean Sarah now, mister Boydon.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Yes, it's wonderful, Miss Brooks, and it's made me realize
something I should have known long ago.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
What's that, mister Boyden?
Speaker 8 (27:10):
I don't read half enough, So if you don't mind,
Miss Brooks, I'd like to call off our day tonight,
stay home and finish the book.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Mister Boyton. Yes, may I suggest another book for you
to read?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
What book is that, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
