the other, talk over the idea with the Chicago Motor

of the club's friendly, courteous service, and many of them
have actually saved up to twenty five dollars on the

(10:07):
financing the purchase of a new.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Or used car.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
There's nothing like expert advice, and that's what the Chicago
Motor Club is specialized in for over thirty two years.
And here's something else you'll be interested in. At the
same time you make arrangements for the financing of your car,
you can place your automobile insurance through the Club. Members
are assured the best possible policy. As a matter of fact,

maybe I'd better hear what you have to say. You
came to apologize for hitting me this morning, Yes as well.
I accept that apology and the one for now, but
don't come over to apologize anymore.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
I'll not come again until you invite me.

Who's angry? I am calm, too, calm? What's to prevent
me from murdering? You're right on the spot, only my calmness.
But I warn you there are limits to what you

I am, I am, even though you're breaking my heart.
I'm going away. Don't never try to see me again.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I won't. This is really my fairway, Laura. You won't
do anything desperate.

Grandpa gave some stock to the bank and your name.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Why well, the mortgage was due, and did the bank
except me and the stock?

Speaker 6 (27:38):
Mister Tilton thought you owned the stock. After canceling the
note the next day, he discovered the stock was worthless.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Naturally, if your family had anything to do with it.

Mister Tilton sold the stock to Grandpa twenty years ago,
before he became a respectable banker.

Grandpa reminded him, and he was happy to let everything stand.

town's too small for any real intrigue. Now you take
the Romans, Ah, but I'm forgetting. I must give this
paper to the sheriff. I was born too late. The
Romans marvelous people.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Maggie. Why did you give me and named the Tilsen?

Speaker 6 (28:25):
It slipped out. I told him we were engaged.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
You told him that, and I told Laura never mind.
Is that why you dragged me that infernal party? Is
that the cause for all my present misery?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Are you angry? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I'm tired. You don't use such a faculty for invention.
You should have been a playwright. I don't know whether
to killer Kisser.
