Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm an it solf your beauty Hope and Luster cream
shampoo for soft, glamorous, caressible hair. Bring you Our Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Darring eve Arden.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Public Schools brought a welcome respite from daily duties. But
our Miss Brooks, Madison High's English teacher didn't take any vacation.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Week working at our local Board of Education office. They
had asked for volunteer assistance during the holidays to make
vacations possible for their already overburdened staff.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The reason I worked was a dress, the.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Most beautiful Easter Sunday dress of all time, and the
reason for the dress mister Philip Boynton, the most beautiful
biology teacher of all times. The price was right too,
only forty nine fifty for the dress, not mister Boynson.
That's why I asked missus Davis, my landlady, to wake
me at the usual seven thirty am last Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh, Connie, it's time to get up, Connie.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Oh thanks, missus Davis. I want to get down to
the board office early.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Are you sure you ought to work during your holiday? Connie?
After all, you do need a vacation pretty badly.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Not as badly as I need a new dress for Easter.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You know, I'm expecting mister Barnton to ask me out
walking in the Easter Parade on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Oh, I'm sure he real, Connie.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
But clothes are so expensive nowadays. Isn't there something you
could do to the black tailored suit of yours with
a green braid trim?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, I could burn it.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh, but wait till you see the one I've got
my eye on. I saw it in Cherry's window last week.
It's a powdered blue crape.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I think I've seen it, Connie. Is that the dress
with the snugly fitted bodis V neckline and a flared,
full skirt with enchanting accordion pleated insect in front.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Don't wrap it up. I'll eat it here.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
But Connie, it looks like it costs a lot of money, just.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Forty nine to fifty, Missus Davis, And the job I'm
taking this week pays fifty dollars. With a little I've
put by, I figure I can get the dress and
still have enough to live on through Easter Sunday.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But what about next Monday?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
If Easter Sunday turns out the way I'm hoping it does,
I won't have to live next Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
As the personnel manager of the board, I'd like to
extend a cordial invitation, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh, thank you, mister Gleeson. I've been looking forward to
working here. Should be a complete change for me. All
new faces.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We're very grateful for the fact that you offered your
services doing this holiday week. In fact, what we have
the board feel is hard to put into words.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Well, then why not put it into an envelope? Mean
there is a salary attached to this position.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Of course, Miss Brooks. The job pays fifty dollars Is
that all right?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh that's more than all right, mister Gleeson.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well, if that's the case, we could it's just.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Fifty cents more than it's all right. Now, if you
give me some idea of my duties.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Well, I am not in charge of your department, Miss Brooks,
but I'd like to caution you about the boss you
will have. He's rather an exacting type of person. Now
I'll call our office boy and he'll show you where
to find your new boss.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Oh boy, here I am.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Mister Gleeson, right on the job and raring to go.
Speaker 8 (03:22):
Oh, Miss Brooks, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I might ask you the same question, Walder, how come
you're not on vacation.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Well, it's this way, miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I like to see a nice relationship between teacher and pupil.
But we are all here for one reason. Remember to
catch up on some work.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Agreed.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Sorry, mister Gleeson, What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I want you to take Miss Brooks over to the
acting head of the Fighting Department. His office is right
down this hall, fourth door on your left.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
Yes, sir, come along Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
All right, Walder, thanks again, mister Gleeson, Thank you, Miss Brooks. Well,
so far it's a tie. One new face and one
old face. It seems like a pleasant enough place in
which to work.
Speaker 8 (03:59):
We're you mean you're here to work during Easter vacation.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
But why?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I asked you first? Why are you working?
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Well, that's simple, I'm working to get some new clothes.
After all, I can't drape my clever carcass and the
sharp set of threads without I nails some extra veil.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Now, why are you here?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Same reason? I can't hang any snazzy rags.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
On my chek shape without eyebags and extra swags. Oh,
I'm really on a vacation. Say who is this new
boss I'm working for?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Walder, Well, I don't know, miss Brooks. He's one of
us extra helpers, but he didn't get down yet this morning.
Here's his office. Let's go in.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Hmm, it's pretty nice office. Could use a little air, though.
I think I'll open the window for.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
My new boss.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
Nice view, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yes, indeed, say, that's very interesting. I've never had such
a close look at the ventilator in the Chinese restaurant.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
I sure hope your boss here is easier on you
than Olden p is Napoleon. Yeah, that's what we call
our beloved principles. Sometimes that is when Harriet Conklin isn't around.
She doesn't like us to call her father a Napoleon.
She says it beneath his gruff exterior, mister Conklin isn't
tough at all.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Believe me, Walder.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Beneath his gruff exterior, mister Conklin makes Napoleon look like
Anita Louise. Oh, but I'm not going to worry about him.
Every Napoleon has.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
His waterloo, and I sometimes think you're mine, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Mister Conklind. Oh, I didn't hear you come in. That
is what makes you say a thing like that.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
I eves dropped. Very unreasonable of me, isn't it. I
hope I haven't wounded you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Not wounded, sire, and smiling the boy fell dead.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
We were just chatting about French history, mister Conklin. Why yes, sire, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So. My reward for working during the holidays is to
be a staff composed of one of my most difficult
year round problem teachers.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
And this.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You better run along now this I mean, Walter, you
lator how ca Miss Brooks, and I wish you wouldn't
be too strict with her, mister Conklin, after all.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
This his vacation, get out.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Now then, Miss Brooks. I'll be brief.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
This is a holiday and we are volunteering our services. However,
there is financial compensation, even I will receive some payment
for the work I do this week. And where there
is payment, Miss Brooks, there must be value received.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Oh, don't worry about that, mister Conklin. I know you'll
do a grand job.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I'm not worried about my doing a job.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I expect you to conduct yourself here with the same enterprise,
concentration and serious minded effort that you put into your.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
No more, it had better be more than that. Now,
if you just stepped down the hall, my secretary, we'll
show you the filing room.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yes, sir, Oh, before I go, mister Conklin, would you
mind telling me why you're working this week?
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Not at all, miss Brooks. I'm working to acquire a
new eastro outfit for myself. My wife, in her customarily
ingenious manner, has already provided herself with a new hat
and dress.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
How did she do that, mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
By spending the bulk of our life saving I've got
to get some new clothes or look like a rag
picker by comparison.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That's a very human reaction, mister Conklin, not a bit napoleonic.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, I must say you're an observant person, miss Brooks.
I've always tried to be just a plain, straightforward human being.
As a matter of fact, my favorite slogan is the
good old American saying that goes liberty, equality, fraternity both.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Mademoiselle, see you at elbow, monsieur, I's see now, where's
that secretary?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Ristar, Miss Brooks, can I help you?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Harriet Conklin? Well, this is a real Madison reunion, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
I'm just acting as daddy secretary during the holiday so
I can latch onto some letters to bribe the Easter
bunny closed check. Now, if you'll follow me, miss Brooks,
I'll show you to the file room. It's just a
few doors down, and there's another auxiliary worker in there already,
whom I know you'll just adore, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Who's that? Harriet? You'll see here we are. I'll open
the door for you, but you're going in alone. Oh
but can you go? What's that?
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Hello, miss Brooks, at last a new face. It's me,
mister Poynton.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well so it is. I didn't recognize you without the
white mice.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
In your hair. It is the surroundings here so different
from school.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
It does seem strange to see you outside of a
biology laboratory.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Thanks somebody left the lid loose. I escaped from my job.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
I didn't mean it that way, miss Brooks. I'm certainly
happy to see you down here, But why are you?
Why are you to get myself some me too? I
made up my mind to get a new suit after
last year's used to parade. I was certainly embarrassed in
that brown herring Bonne remember.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Well to tell you the truth, mister Boynton, I was
so embarrassed myself. I didn't notice your embarrassment. When I
think of what I wore last season, I just have
to laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
What an old rag?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
A black tailored suit with green braid trim.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
Well, if we're to get new outfits, we'd better put
in a good week's work, starting right now. Of course,
this fighting room is pretty small for two people to
work in, isn't it Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It is, isn't it. Well, I'll just go over here.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
Excuse me, Gurs. Every time we turn around, we're going
to bump into each other.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Mister bon Yes, Miss Brooks, the first one who stops
turning is a sissy.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Gosh.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
We started work on Monday, and here it is Friday already.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
The time sure went fast. It seems as if I
only worked an hour.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You worked less than an hour. Here's the pay window,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
You can get in line right behind Walter and me.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Thanks Harriet. Keep the line moving please. Next.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Oh that's me, mister Gleeson Denton.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Walter here's your check, Denton Water. Happy Easter, Thank you, sir.
I'm next Brooks Constance, Brooks Constance.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Here you are, Brooks Constance, Happy Easter.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Thank you, Easter. Happy to you Gleason.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Mister Let's see now with this fifty dollars, I can oh,
wait a minute, excuse me, mister Gleeson.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Or something wrong, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Why?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yes, this check is for thirty seven fifty I thought
I was to receive fifty.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Dollars deductions, Miss Brooks, withholding tax, social security, unemployment.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Then of course there's.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The five dollars contribution which all volunteer workers at the
Board of Education must make to the Pension Fund for.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Old teachers, pension fund for mister Gleeson.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yes, Miss Brooks, give.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Me mine now, I just age thirty years.
Speaker 1 (11:27):

a moment.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Saturday morning finally rolled around, But the twelve and a
half dollars between me and my blue crate easter dress,
didn't roll around with it. Right after breakfast, Missus Davis
and I sat down in the living room and tried
to figure her way out.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
I know what, Connie, Maybe Sherry's Department store will let
you owe them the twelve fifty, you know, pay it
off on time.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'd rather not ask them, Missus Davis.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But why not.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They might bring up the fourteen dollars I owe them
for my black suit.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I'd be happy to lone give the money myself, Connie,
But honestly, I haven't got it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Oh, I wouldn't think of accepting a loan from you,
missus Davis, inasmuch as you haven't got it.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I've got just enough petty cash left to buy the
things we'll need for tomorrow's Easter party party.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yes, didn't I tell you?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I've asked some of our friends in for a little
egg hunt and Easter luncheon. I'm going out to get
the eggs and coloring in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Sounds like fun.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I'm going to write the names of all my favorite
people on the eggs and hide them individually. But there
are two names which I am going to hide right
next to each other.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yes, which one's callie, mister Boynton, and myself.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
No lum and Abner.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Oh, I just know your spirits will perk up when
the party starts. I've asked several of our mutual friends,
the Conklin's Walter Denton, your fellow English teacher, miss Enright,
mister Boynton.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Please, missus Davis, even in conversation, you shouldn't put miss
Enright so close to mister Boynton.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I don't have to worry about mis Danster Boynton at all.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
To do is convinced mister Boynton.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Miss Enwright has a lot of nice qualities.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Now, I'd like to find them, but that far down,
you know, the worst of it is. She'll probably be
while I sit around in that black sack of mine.
Even mister Boynton's getting a new suit to replace his
brown herringbone.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
You mustn't give up, hope, Honnie. We'll think of some
way to get to that nude dress. Who knows the
eastep he may stop buying, drop it right into your left. Well,
I'm going to the market now, dear, all right, missus Davis,
what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
What can I do? I'll just sit here and make
a laugh.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Well, all right, then I promise not to tell where
I got the money. Full of you to let missus
Brooks have it, especially since it means giving up your
own easter raptors, old rocking chairs.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Got me, came by my side, fetch me twelve fifteen
or tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I will hide unless that's the easter bunny. I'm not interested.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Coming well if it isn't. Miss enright, good morning, Missus Brooks.
I hope I didn't waken you, awaken me. Waken you
awaken me, waken you awaken me? Get enough? I hope
I just get enough beauty that time you to remember
that you.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Why aren't you going to ask me in this book?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Let's go into the living room. I'm let's go into
the living room. I'm let's go into the living room.
I'm sit down with n ry sake is here?
Speaker 11 (16:27):
Persons?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
You ricked?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yell thing? Isn't it?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Yell thing?
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Isn't it?
Speaker 12 (16:34):
He came by to lend a hand with the arrangements
for tomorrow's easter.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Tardy?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Who I mean that was very nice of poo, I
mean that was very nice of you. Missus Davis Wilby.
Oh well, boom, you've got your.
Speaker 12 (16:47):
Easter outfit all set.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh yes, except for a few odds and ends I
could pick up this afternoon.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
Example, my dress phone cost over one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Hundred dollars money.
Speaker 12 (16:57):
Oh, I didn't buy it out of my salary.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Papa Bill can your papa will help you out again.
But you'll love my name, but you'll love ash drape
over the hips, a bustle on you?
Speaker 12 (17:15):
Yes, what's wrong with my wearing a bustle?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Nothing, darling? But isn't that like carrying coals to Newcastle?
Speaker 12 (17:27):
If that's how my friendly overtures are received, I'll just
be running along.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
See you to the door, Miss Enr. No, thanks, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (17:34):
You'd better stay in your rocker and exercise your wits.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Goodbye, Darling. I don't care what she wears.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
If I were mister Boynton, i'd ask me out instead
of her any day. It was certainly nice of you
to take me shopping Waller. Now I've got everything I
need for you.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
But I thought you didn't have enough flute, Miss Brooks.
How could you buy all this stuff if you had
the shorts?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
The shorts? Oh, not enough money?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Well, missus Davis came home a few hours ago and
handed me an envelope with twenty five dollars in it,
twelve fifty more than I needed.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Where'd she get it? She wouldn't tell me. She said
you were sworn to secrecy.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Well, you know what I always say, never look a
gift bunny in the mouth.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
What did you buy with a dough? Just a hat
and dress?
Speaker 11 (18:30):
What kind?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well, it's a powder blue sheer crape with a snugly
fitted bodas V shaped neckline cut rather low, with an
accordion pleated inset in the front.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
And what kind of address did you get?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
An off the face straw with a belt in the back.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And to the girl I'm taking two?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
And now, folks, before we have lunch, let's all join
in the grand egg hunt?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Will you explain the rules?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Cunning, I'll be good to missus Davis? What are they hide?
Speaker 8 (19:19):
The dynamics trooks?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
We all hunt through the house for the eggs, and
as we find them, we bring them the Missus Davis
who marks our names down on a piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's right, Walter.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Then the one who finds the most eggs get surprised,
isn't that correct?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Daddy? If I find any eggs I'm going to eat them.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
I'm stuck.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Now.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Then get ready everyone, when I stay three, the hunt
is on. And remember I'll be sitting at the kitchen
table with a pencil and papers.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Ready, one, two.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
Three, Miss Brooks, Yes, Walter, could you give me a
hint where some of the eggs might be hidden?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Have you tried looking in Miss Enwright's bustle.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
He's got enough moon back there to hide the hens
that lay them.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Ed bustle certainly is a screen.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Evidentially, Miss Brooks, your new Easter gown is much prettier
than Miss Anwright's.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Well, thank you, Walter.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
It's such a beautiful shade of blue, and those pleats
are really a smash. And I'm not just talking this
way because you're an English teacher and that's a subject
which i'm not completely at home and always, and I'm
afraid maybe i'll flunk him without any such access to grind,
Miss Brooks, You're gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Keep talking that way, Walterer, and you ain't never gonna flunk.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I really mean it, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Well, mister Boynton gets here and sees you in that outfit,
I'll bet he jumps right out of his skin.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You better not.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Miss Enright will jump right into it. I wonder what's
keeping mister Boynton. You should have been here by now.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I gather that from miss Enwright's attitude. Half the morning
she's been facing the door in a running position. Well,
i'd better join me, happy egg hunters, would you excuse me?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Certainly waller good luck.
Speaker 12 (21:20):
Well, hello, miss Brooks, I see the egg you're hunting.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
For hasn't rolled in yet.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
If you're referring to mister Boynton, miss Enright, I'm not
a bit worried about missing him. The minute your quarry
makes an appearance, I'm sure your bustle will come to
a point.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Let's let by gones be by gones at least for
a little while. May I compliment you on your gown?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh? Please do? It's lovely?
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Well, well, don't pop up like a powder pigeon.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I merely said the gown was lovely.
Speaker 12 (21:56):
Regrettable fact remains that, no matter how lovely the gown, beware,
some of us still manage to make it look like
the bag came in.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
That does it? You have just bygone? You're a last bygone.
Speaker 12 (22:12):
You're just full of bombos on't you?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That last gem just killed me. You've still got eight
lives to go.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Try looking in the back of the house, folks, they
must be someplace.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
What's the trouble, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Oh they've only found half of the dozen eggs I hid, Connie.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
They can't seem to find any of the.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Others, not even Fluminadner, the two I hid together.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Oh well, why don't you give them some hints, Missus Davis?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
I forget where I hid them.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Still just have to go on hunting.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
I for one shall hunt no more. Where's my lunch, Margaret?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
It the face stiles today are good? Why don't you
and the children just go make ahead and get started?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Blendid Harriet Walter, let's tie on the feedbags, Miss Brook.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
No thanks, miss enright, why don't you join mister Conklin
and the kids. I'm sure they'll miss you more than
I would.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
No thanks, dear, I'll just stay right here. I wish
mister Boynan would show up.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
And getting a little tired of peering out the window,
I think I'll just sit down here facing the door.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
What's meta, Connie?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I just found lum and Abner.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Shame garling the eggs splotted all over your blue dress.
Oh this is awful. These eggs weren't even boiled. Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
I'm sorry, Connie, I'm must have forgotten. Oh that reminds
me there was something else I forgot to tell you what.
Mister Boynton called while you were in the shower and
said he wasn't coming over, but would you meet him
in the park near the zoo right away?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Meet him in the park. But this is ruined? What'll
I wear? Does it matter? Really, darling?
Speaker 12 (24:04):
Remember there's another Easter parade next year.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late, mister Boynton, but Missus Davis
didn't give me your message until a few minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
Well that's all right, miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We got the whole day ahead of us.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
You see, the reason I didn't come to the house
was well, I knew everyone that'd be all dressed up,
and frankly, I was a little self conscious about my appearance.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Your appearance. You should have seen what happened to me. No,
you shouldn't have. Well, here I am.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
And you look wonderful, Miss Brooks. I know you worked
most of the time, but like I told missus Davis yesterday,
that week away from school?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Did you a lot of good Missus Davis? You saw
Missus Davis yesterday? Well, yes, she dropped by while she
was shopping.
Speaker 10 (24:54):
Just a little social call, you understand.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I understand a lot of things now, mister Boyton.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
I know I've been pretty reticent in the past, but
today I want to tell you something that comes from the.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Bottom of my heart. Yes, mister Boyne, to me, you're.
Speaker 10 (25:10):
Just the grandest lady in the Easter parade. That no
black suit with the green trim is a knockout.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
A knockout.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I think you mean that, mister Boyne. May I tell
you something?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Miss Brooks, You're the grandest Easter bunny that ever wore
a brown herringbone suit.
Speaker 1 (25:40):

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Oh, no trouble at all, mister Boynton. There must be

Darring eve Arden.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Public Schools brought a welcome respite from daily duties. But
our Miss Brooks, Madison High's English teacher didn't take any vacation.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Week working at our local Board of Education office. They
had asked for volunteer assistance during the holidays to make
vacations possible for their already overburdened staff.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The reason I worked was a dress, the.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Most beautiful Easter Sunday dress of all time, and the
reason for the dress mister Philip Boynton, the most beautiful
biology teacher of all times. The price was right too,
only forty nine fifty for the dress, not mister Boynson.
That's why I asked missus Davis, my landlady, to wake
me at the usual seven thirty am last Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh, Connie, it's time to get up, Connie.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Oh thanks, missus Davis. I want to get down to
the board office early.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Are you sure you ought to work during your holiday? Connie?
After all, you do need a vacation pretty badly.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Not as badly as I need a new dress for Easter.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You know, I'm expecting mister Barnton to ask me out
walking in the Easter Parade on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Oh, I'm sure he real, Connie.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
But clothes are so expensive nowadays. Isn't there something you
could do to the black tailored suit of yours with
a green braid trim?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, I could burn it.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh, but wait till you see the one I've got
my eye on. I saw it in Cherry's window last week.
It's a powdered blue crape.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
I think I've seen it, Connie. Is that the dress
with the snugly fitted bodis V neckline and a flared,
full skirt with enchanting accordion pleated insect in front.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Don't wrap it up. I'll eat it here.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
But Connie, it looks like it costs a lot of money, just.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Forty nine to fifty, Missus Davis, And the job I'm
taking this week pays fifty dollars. With a little I've
put by, I figure I can get the dress and
still have enough to live on through Easter Sunday.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But what about next Monday?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
If Easter Sunday turns out the way I'm hoping it does,
I won't have to live next Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
As the personnel manager of the board, I'd like to
extend a cordial invitation, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh, thank you, mister Gleeson. I've been looking forward to
working here. Should be a complete change for me. All
new faces.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We're very grateful for the fact that you offered your
services doing this holiday week. In fact, what we have
the board feel is hard to put into words.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Well, then why not put it into an envelope? Mean
there is a salary attached to this position.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Of course, Miss Brooks. The job pays fifty dollars Is
that all right?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh that's more than all right, mister Gleeson.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well, if that's the case, we could it's just.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Fifty cents more than it's all right. Now, if you
give me some idea of my duties.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Well, I am not in charge of your department, Miss Brooks,
but I'd like to caution you about the boss you
will have. He's rather an exacting type of person. Now
I'll call our office boy and he'll show you where
to find your new boss.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Oh boy, here I am.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Mister Gleeson, right on the job and raring to go.
Speaker 8 (03:22):
Oh, Miss Brooks, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I might ask you the same question, Walder, how come
you're not on vacation.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Well, it's this way, miss Brooks.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I like to see a nice relationship between teacher and pupil.
But we are all here for one reason. Remember to
catch up on some work.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Agreed.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Sorry, mister Gleeson, What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I want you to take Miss Brooks over to the
acting head of the Fighting Department. His office is right
down this hall, fourth door on your left.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
Yes, sir, come along Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
All right, Walder, thanks again, mister Gleeson, Thank you, Miss Brooks. Well,
so far it's a tie. One new face and one
old face. It seems like a pleasant enough place in
which to work.
Speaker 8 (03:59):
We're you mean you're here to work during Easter vacation.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
But why?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I asked you first? Why are you working?
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Well, that's simple, I'm working to get some new clothes.
After all, I can't drape my clever carcass and the
sharp set of threads without I nails some extra veil.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Now, why are you here?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Same reason? I can't hang any snazzy rags.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
On my chek shape without eyebags and extra swags. Oh,
I'm really on a vacation. Say who is this new
boss I'm working for?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Walder, Well, I don't know, miss Brooks. He's one of
us extra helpers, but he didn't get down yet this morning.
Here's his office. Let's go in.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Hmm, it's pretty nice office. Could use a little air, though.
I think I'll open the window for.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
My new boss.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
Nice view, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yes, indeed, say, that's very interesting. I've never had such
a close look at the ventilator in the Chinese restaurant.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
I sure hope your boss here is easier on you
than Olden p is Napoleon. Yeah, that's what we call
our beloved principles. Sometimes that is when Harriet Conklin isn't around.
She doesn't like us to call her father a Napoleon.
She says it beneath his gruff exterior, mister Conklin isn't
tough at all.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Believe me, Walder.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Beneath his gruff exterior, mister Conklin makes Napoleon look like
Anita Louise. Oh, but I'm not going to worry about him.
Every Napoleon has.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
His waterloo, and I sometimes think you're mine, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Mister Conklind. Oh, I didn't hear you come in. That
is what makes you say a thing like that.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
I eves dropped. Very unreasonable of me, isn't it. I
hope I haven't wounded you, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Not wounded, sire, and smiling the boy fell dead.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
We were just chatting about French history, mister Conklin. Why yes, sire, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So. My reward for working during the holidays is to
be a staff composed of one of my most difficult
year round problem teachers.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
And this.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You better run along now this I mean, Walter, you
lator how ca Miss Brooks, and I wish you wouldn't
be too strict with her, mister Conklin, after all.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
This his vacation, get out.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Now then, Miss Brooks. I'll be brief.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
This is a holiday and we are volunteering our services. However,
there is financial compensation, even I will receive some payment
for the work I do this week. And where there
is payment, Miss Brooks, there must be value received.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Oh, don't worry about that, mister Conklin. I know you'll
do a grand job.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I'm not worried about my doing a job.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I expect you to conduct yourself here with the same enterprise,
concentration and serious minded effort that you put into your.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
No more, it had better be more than that. Now,
if you just stepped down the hall, my secretary, we'll
show you the filing room.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yes, sir, Oh, before I go, mister Conklin, would you
mind telling me why you're working this week?
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Not at all, miss Brooks. I'm working to acquire a
new eastro outfit for myself. My wife, in her customarily
ingenious manner, has already provided herself with a new hat
and dress.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
How did she do that, mister Conklin.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
By spending the bulk of our life saving I've got
to get some new clothes or look like a rag
picker by comparison.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That's a very human reaction, mister Conklin, not a bit napoleonic.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, I must say you're an observant person, miss Brooks.
I've always tried to be just a plain, straightforward human being.
As a matter of fact, my favorite slogan is the
good old American saying that goes liberty, equality, fraternity both.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Mademoiselle, see you at elbow, monsieur, I's see now, where's
that secretary?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Ristar, Miss Brooks, can I help you?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Harriet Conklin? Well, this is a real Madison reunion, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
I'm just acting as daddy secretary during the holiday so
I can latch onto some letters to bribe the Easter
bunny closed check. Now, if you'll follow me, miss Brooks,
I'll show you to the file room. It's just a
few doors down, and there's another auxiliary worker in there already,
whom I know you'll just adore, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Who's that? Harriet? You'll see here we are. I'll open
the door for you, but you're going in alone. Oh
but can you go? What's that?
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Hello, miss Brooks, at last a new face. It's me,
mister Poynton.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well so it is. I didn't recognize you without the
white mice.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
In your hair. It is the surroundings here so different
from school.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
It does seem strange to see you outside of a
biology laboratory.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Thanks somebody left the lid loose. I escaped from my job.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
I didn't mean it that way, miss Brooks. I'm certainly
happy to see you down here, But why are you?
Why are you to get myself some me too? I
made up my mind to get a new suit after
last year's used to parade. I was certainly embarrassed in
that brown herring Bonne remember.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Well to tell you the truth, mister Boynton, I was
so embarrassed myself. I didn't notice your embarrassment. When I
think of what I wore last season, I just have
to laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
What an old rag?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
A black tailored suit with green braid trim.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
Well, if we're to get new outfits, we'd better put
in a good week's work, starting right now. Of course,
this fighting room is pretty small for two people to
work in, isn't it Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It is, isn't it. Well, I'll just go over here.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
Excuse me, Gurs. Every time we turn around, we're going
to bump into each other.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Mister bon Yes, Miss Brooks, the first one who stops
turning is a sissy.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Gosh.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
We started work on Monday, and here it is Friday already.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
The time sure went fast. It seems as if I
only worked an hour.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You worked less than an hour. Here's the pay window,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
You can get in line right behind Walter and me.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Thanks Harriet. Keep the line moving please. Next.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Oh that's me, mister Gleeson Denton.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Walter here's your check, Denton Water. Happy Easter, Thank you, sir.
I'm next Brooks Constance, Brooks Constance.
Speaker 1 (10:40):

Mister Let's see now with this fifty dollars, I can oh,
wait a minute, excuse me, mister Gleeson.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Or something wrong, Miss Brooks?
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Why?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yes, this check is for thirty seven fifty I thought
I was to receive fifty.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Dollars deductions, Miss Brooks, withholding tax, social security, unemployment.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Then of course there's.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The five dollars contribution which all volunteer workers at the
Board of Education must make to the Pension Fund for.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Old teachers, pension fund for mister Gleeson.
Speaker 1 (11:11):

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Saturday morning finally rolled around, But the twelve and a
half dollars between me and my blue crate easter dress,
didn't roll around with it. Right after breakfast, Missus Davis
and I sat down in the living room and tried
to figure her way out.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
I know what, Connie, Maybe Sherry's Department store will let
you owe them the twelve fifty, you know, pay it
off on time.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'd rather not ask them, Missus Davis.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But why not.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
They might bring up the fourteen dollars I owe them
for my black suit.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I'd be happy to lone give the money myself, Connie,
But honestly, I haven't got it.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Oh, I wouldn't think of accepting a loan from you,
missus Davis, inasmuch as you haven't got it.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I've got just enough petty cash left to buy the
things we'll need for tomorrow's Easter party party.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yes, didn't I tell you?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I've asked some of our friends in for a little
egg hunt and Easter luncheon. I'm going out to get
the eggs and coloring in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Sounds like fun.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I'm going to write the names of all my favorite
people on the eggs and hide them individually. But there
are two names which I am going to hide right
next to each other.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yes, which one's callie, mister Boynton, and myself.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
No lum and Abner.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Oh, I just know your spirits will perk up when
the party starts. I've asked several of our mutual friends,
the Conklin's Walter Denton, your fellow English teacher, miss Enright,
mister Boynton.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Please, missus Davis, even in conversation, you shouldn't put miss
Enright so close to mister Boynton.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I don't have to worry about mis Danster Boynton at all.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
To do is convinced mister Boynton.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Miss Enwright has a lot of nice qualities.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Now, I'd like to find them, but that far down,
you know, the worst of it is. She'll probably be
while I sit around in that black sack of mine.
Even mister Boynton's getting a new suit to replace his
brown herringbone.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
You mustn't give up, hope, Honnie. We'll think of some
way to get to that nude dress. Who knows the
eastep he may stop buying, drop it right into your left. Well,
I'm going to the market now, dear, all right, missus Davis,
what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
What can I do? I'll just sit here and make
a laugh.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Well, all right, then I promise not to tell where
I got the money. Full of you to let missus
Brooks have it, especially since it means giving up your
own easter raptors, old rocking chairs.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Got me, came by my side, fetch me twelve fifteen
or tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I will hide unless that's the easter bunny. I'm not interested.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Coming well if it isn't. Miss enright, good morning, Missus Brooks.
I hope I didn't waken you, awaken me. Waken you
awaken me, waken you awaken me? Get enough? I hope
I just get enough beauty that time you to remember
that you.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Why aren't you going to ask me in this book?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Let's go into the living room. I'm let's go into
the living room. I'm let's go into the living room.
I'm sit down with n ry sake is here?
Speaker 11 (16:27):
Persons?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
You ricked?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yell thing? Isn't it?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Yell thing?
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Isn't it?
Speaker 12 (16:34):
He came by to lend a hand with the arrangements
for tomorrow's easter.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Tardy?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Who I mean that was very nice of poo, I
mean that was very nice of you. Missus Davis Wilby.
Oh well, boom, you've got your.
Speaker 12 (16:47):
Easter outfit all set.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh yes, except for a few odds and ends I
could pick up this afternoon.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
Example, my dress phone cost over one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Hundred dollars money.
Speaker 12 (16:57):
Oh, I didn't buy it out of my salary.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Papa Bill can your papa will help you out again.
But you'll love my name, but you'll love ash drape
over the hips, a bustle on you?
Speaker 12 (17:15):
Yes, what's wrong with my wearing a bustle?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Nothing, darling? But isn't that like carrying coals to Newcastle?
Speaker 12 (17:27):
If that's how my friendly overtures are received, I'll just
be running along.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
See you to the door, Miss Enr. No, thanks, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 12 (17:34):
You'd better stay in your rocker and exercise your wits.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Goodbye, Darling. I don't care what she wears.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
If I were mister Boynton, i'd ask me out instead
of her any day. It was certainly nice of you
to take me shopping Waller. Now I've got everything I
need for you.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
But I thought you didn't have enough flute, Miss Brooks.
How could you buy all this stuff if you had
the shorts?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
The shorts? Oh, not enough money?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Well, missus Davis came home a few hours ago and
handed me an envelope with twenty five dollars in it,
twelve fifty more than I needed.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Where'd she get it? She wouldn't tell me. She said
you were sworn to secrecy.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Well, you know what I always say, never look a
gift bunny in the mouth.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
What did you buy with a dough? Just a hat
and dress?
Speaker 11 (18:30):
What kind?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well, it's a powder blue sheer crape with a snugly
fitted bodas V shaped neckline cut rather low, with an
accordion pleated inset in the front.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
And what kind of address did you get?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
An off the face straw with a belt in the back.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And to the girl I'm taking two?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
And now, folks, before we have lunch, let's all join
in the grand egg hunt?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Will you explain the rules?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Cunning, I'll be good to missus Davis? What are they hide?
Speaker 8 (19:19):
The dynamics trooks?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
We all hunt through the house for the eggs, and
as we find them, we bring them the Missus Davis
who marks our names down on a piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's right, Walter.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Then the one who finds the most eggs get surprised,
isn't that correct?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Daddy? If I find any eggs I'm going to eat them.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
I'm stuck.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Now.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Then get ready everyone, when I stay three, the hunt
is on. And remember I'll be sitting at the kitchen
table with a pencil and papers.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Ready, one, two.
Speaker 13 (19:52):
Three, Miss Brooks, Yes, Walter, could you give me a
hint where some of the eggs might be hidden?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Have you tried looking in Miss Enwright's bustle.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
He's got enough moon back there to hide the hens
that lay them.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Ed bustle certainly is a screen.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Evidentially, Miss Brooks, your new Easter gown is much prettier
than Miss Anwright's.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Well, thank you, Walter.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
It's such a beautiful shade of blue, and those pleats
are really a smash. And I'm not just talking this
way because you're an English teacher and that's a subject
which i'm not completely at home and always, and I'm
afraid maybe i'll flunk him without any such access to grind,
Miss Brooks, You're gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Keep talking that way, Walterer, and you ain't never gonna flunk.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I really mean it, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Well, mister Boynton gets here and sees you in that outfit,
I'll bet he jumps right out of his skin.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You better not.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Miss Enright will jump right into it. I wonder what's
keeping mister Boynton. You should have been here by now.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I gather that from miss Enwright's attitude. Half the morning
she's been facing the door in a running position. Well,
i'd better join me, happy egg hunters, would you excuse me?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Miss Brooks?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Certainly waller good luck.
Speaker 12 (21:20):
Well, hello, miss Brooks, I see the egg you're hunting.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
For hasn't rolled in yet.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
If you're referring to mister Boynton, miss Enright, I'm not
a bit worried about missing him. The minute your quarry
makes an appearance, I'm sure your bustle will come to
a point.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Let's let by gones be by gones at least for
a little while. May I compliment you on your gown?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh? Please do? It's lovely?
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Well, well, don't pop up like a powder pigeon.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I merely said the gown was lovely.
Speaker 12 (21:56):
Regrettable fact remains that, no matter how lovely the gown, beware,
some of us still manage to make it look like
the bag came in.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
That does it? You have just bygone? You're a last bygone.
Speaker 12 (22:12):
You're just full of bombos on't you?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That last gem just killed me. You've still got eight
lives to go.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Try looking in the back of the house, folks, they
must be someplace.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
What's the trouble, Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Oh they've only found half of the dozen eggs I hid, Connie.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
They can't seem to find any of the.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Others, not even Fluminadner, the two I hid together.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Oh well, why don't you give them some hints, Missus Davis?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
I forget where I hid them.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Still just have to go on hunting.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
I for one shall hunt no more. Where's my lunch, Margaret?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
It the face stiles today are good? Why don't you
and the children just go make ahead and get started?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Blendid Harriet Walter, let's tie on the feedbags, Miss Brook.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
No thanks, miss enright, why don't you join mister Conklin
and the kids. I'm sure they'll miss you more than
I would.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
No thanks, dear, I'll just stay right here. I wish
mister Boynan would show up.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
And getting a little tired of peering out the window,
I think I'll just sit down here facing the door.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
What's meta, Connie?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I just found lum and Abner.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Shame garling the eggs splotted all over your blue dress.
Oh this is awful. These eggs weren't even boiled. Missus Davis.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
I'm sorry, Connie, I'm must have forgotten. Oh that reminds
me there was something else I forgot to tell you what.
Mister Boynton called while you were in the shower and
said he wasn't coming over, but would you meet him
in the park near the zoo right away?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Meet him in the park. But this is ruined? What'll
I wear? Does it matter? Really, darling?
Speaker 12 (24:04):
Remember there's another Easter parade next year.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late, mister Boynton, but Missus Davis
didn't give me your message until a few minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
Well that's all right, miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
We got the whole day ahead of us.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
You see, the reason I didn't come to the house
was well, I knew everyone that'd be all dressed up,
and frankly, I was a little self conscious about my appearance.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Your appearance. You should have seen what happened to me. No,
you shouldn't have. Well, here I am.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
And you look wonderful, Miss Brooks. I know you worked
most of the time, but like I told missus Davis yesterday,
that week away from school?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Did you a lot of good Missus Davis? You saw
Missus Davis yesterday? Well, yes, she dropped by while she
was shopping.
Speaker 10 (24:54):
Just a little social call, you understand.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I understand a lot of things now, mister Boyton.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
I know I've been pretty reticent in the past, but
today I want to tell you something that comes from the.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Bottom of my heart. Yes, mister Boyne, to me, you're.
Speaker 10 (25:10):
Just the grandest lady in the Easter parade. That no
black suit with the green trim is a knockout.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
A knockout.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I think you mean that, mister Boyne. May I tell
you something?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
