Christmas Holiday Page #2

I thought so. Well, it's a pretty tough

nut to crack.

Planes are all grounded, trains won't

do you any good and you're

too big for me to carry piggy-back.

Wait a minute, I've got it.

You don't think so?

Well, frankly...

Well, maybe I can't fix it myself

but if anyone can fix it,

I know the one who can

and we're going there tonight.

What are you talking about?

-The Maison Lafitte.

Valerie De Merode. She's the greatest

fixer south of Chicago.

Come on.

I don't get it. What? Where?

Like I was telling you...

The Maison Lafitte.

It's uh...

Let's face it. It's kind of a joint.

A little way out of town.

I'm the, uh, public relations counsel.

Press agent.

The airplane people told me

they'd call me the minute

they had any news.

We can leave word at the desk

where you've gone.

You think that's safe?

-Why, of course.

Besides, what have you got to lose?

Believe me, they don't roll second

lieutenants at the Maison Lafitte.

They don't generally have more

than a couple of bucks on them

and a picture of a sweater girl.

Come on.

Wait here, lieutenant,

I'll try to find Valerie.

Spring will be a little late this year,

a little late arriving

in my lonely world over here.

For you have left me,

and where is our April of old?

You have left me

and winter continues cold,

as if to say Spring will be

a little slow to start

a little slow reviving

music it made in my heart.

Yes time heals all things

so I needn't cling to this fear

It's merely that Spring will be

a little late this year.

Jackie, come here.

He's over there, Valerie. I wish you'd

help him

if you can. He seems like

an awful nice kid.

Looks like a lieutenant to me.

Hey, wait a minute.

How many times have I told you?

I wish I could figure out what it is

about you, Simon.

You get a few drinks under your belt

and you got to start playing

Good Samarytan.

Samaritan from the French,

meaning Samaritan.

You and your education.

Oh, allow me. This is our hostess,

Valerie De Merode.

This is Lieutenant Mason.

-How do you do?

Please sit down, lieutenant.

Won't you sit down too, Simon?

Thank you very much, I will.

You haven't waited to be asked

to sit down since I met you.

Like I was telling you, Valerie,

the lieutenant planned to fly straight

to San Francisco only his plane

was grounded.

Oh, that's a shame, lieutenant.

And the way it looks now, he won't

be able to take off

for another 24 hours.

he can't possibly get a train so

I thought that maybe you'd be able to

think of a way for him to get out.

Simon's got a heart as big as

all outdoors, lieutenant.

Whenever he meets anyone

with any kind of trouble like yours,

Say, he decides to help them out.
