A Stolen Life Page #2

AND I DON'T NOW.

OH, BUT YOU SEE,

I CAME FOR:

A DIFFERENT REASON.

WELL, TALK.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE AN

EXPERT WITH SHIP MODELS-

IN FACT, THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS

WHETHER THEY'RE GENUINE OR NOT.

DON'T MAKE SENSE.

I KNOW IT'S A GREA IMPOSITION, MR. FOLGER,

BUT, YOU SEE, I DON'T KNOW

A GREAT DEAL ABOUT ANTIQUES,

AND I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA

THAT I MAY HAVE BEEN ROOKED.

WELL, I DON'T RIGHTLY

KNOW AS I'M A JUDGE.

OH, WON'T YOU LOOK AT IT,

MR. FOLGER?

I UNDERSTAND:

IT'S PART OF A SET.

MAYBE.

EBEN...

WELL, HELLO.

WHY, HELLO.

OH, YOU BE THE ONE HE

BRUNG FROM THE MAINLAND.

YES.

YOU SEE, MR. FOLGER, I

WANT TO START A COLLECTION.

I GOT THE REST OF

THE SET, SO...

NOW, YOU'RE PRETTY

SMART FOR A WOMAN.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE!

JUST WHAT ARE YOU AIMING FOR OUT HERE?

LOOK OUT, EBEN.

SHE'S A YANKEE.

HA HA! I WANT TO STRIKE

A BARGAIN WITH YOU.

WHAT KIND?

I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU IF

YOU'LL DO SOMETHING FOR ME.

WHAT?

I WANT YOU TO POSE FOR AN

HOUR EVERY DAY FOR TWO WEEKS.

NO.

YOU CAN SET THE TIME.

HE WHO HESITATES

IS LOST, EBEN.

YOU'RE GETTING TOO BIG

FOR YOUR BRITCHES, SON.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU BE HERE EACH DAY

AT 4:
00.

BUT NOT SUNDAYS.

SUNDAYS, TOO.

SUNDAYS, THEN,

DOGGONE IT!

TOMORROW AT 4:
00 SHARP,

BUT SPANG ON 5:
00 WE QUIT!

HE'S A TOUGH

CUSTOMER.

YOU'RE PRETTY

SLIPPERY YOURSELF.

HA HA! I KNOW.

WELL, NOW THAT I'VE

LURED HIM INTO POSING,

I GUESS I'D BETTER GO.

YOU'RE BUSY.

YES. I'VE GOT A COUPLE

OF HOURS' WORK LEFT.

I'M SURE YOU HAVE.

WELL, SEE YOU

TOMORROW.

SURE THING.

SO LONG.

BYE!

MR. FOLGER, COULDN'T YOU

STOP FIDGETING?

I NEVER DID TAKE

TO WHITTLING.

DON'T SEE WHY YOU HAVE ME DOING IT.

BECAUSE IT'S GOOD COLOR.

BEEN ON THIS:

A WEEK NOW.

ANYBODY'D THINK I HAD NOTHING

ELSE TO DO BUT SIT HERE.

PLEASE DON'T TALK. I'M

WORKING ON YOUR MUSTACHE.

FOG'S COMING IN

FAST.

HAVE TO BE GOING

INSIDE.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE:

SOME EXCUSE.

WELL, I CAN'T CONTROL THE ACTS OF GOD.

HIYA!

HI!

I'LL PICK

YOU UP LATER!

RIGHT.

IT LOOKS LIKE:

YOU'RE ALMOST FINISHED.

UH-HUH.

HEY, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

THANKS.

WHAT WERE YOU:

DOING ALL DAY?

OH, I'VE BEEN IN

GETTING A FEW SUPPLIES.

OH.

SAY, THAT FOG IS COMING IN PRETTY FAST.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TRY

TO GET BACK IN IT, ARE YOU?

I WONDER.

I THINK YOU'D BETTER

STAY HERE FOR A WHILE.

I'D LIKE THAT.

BUT MR. FOLGER'S NEVER

BEEN VERY HOSPITABLE.

AW, IT'S NONSENSE.

HE'S GOT A HEAR AS BIG AS A HOUSE.

COME ON. I'LL TAKE

YOUR THINGS IN, EH?

YOU'RE SURE I WON'T BE IN THE WAY?

WELL, YOU'LL HAVE TO

ENTERTAIN YOURSELF.

I'VE GOT A FEW

HOURS' WORK TO DO.

OH, DON'T WORRY

ABOUT ME.

MAY I COME IN?

WELL, WHAT YOU WANT?

MR. FOLGER, HOW LONG DO

THESE FOGS USUALLY LAST?
