The Accidental Tourist Page #2

tomorrow afternoon.

Maybe I could bring the rug over.

Or I could let myself in on Saturday.

I should have agreed to teach

summer schooI or something.

Open my eyes in the morning and I think,

Why bother getting up?

Why bother eating?

Why bother breathing?

Me too, sweetheart.

Mr. Leary, come with me, please,

to identify the body.

Yes, that is my son.

So I guess I'll come by

while you're gone, if that's all right.

Oh, sorry.

Come on, Edward.

There's nothing to worry about.

- Hi there.

- Do you board dogs?

- Sure.

- I'd like to board Edward here.

- Do you have a reservation?

- A reservation? No.

- Most people reserve.

- Could you make an exception?

I've just come from the place

we've used before.

Suddenly they tell me they can't take

him, that he bit someone last time.

Edward, do you bite?

How could you do such a thing?

I'm catching a plane.

I'm leaving for a week...

...and I don't have a souI to look

after him. I'm desperate, I tell you.

- Can't you leave home with your wife?

- No.

- You're not married?

- I am, but she's living elsewhere.

They don't allow pets.

I'm a divorcee myself.

I know what you're going through.

So will you keep him?

I guess, if you're desperate.

Fill this out. Your name and address

and when you'll be back.

Don't forget to put when you'll be back.

I'll most likely see you again

when you pick him up...

...if you put the time of day

to expect you.

My name is MurieI.

Is this place open evenings?

- Every evening but Sundays, till 8.

- Oh, good.

MurieI Pritchett.

In London, England, I recommend

the Underground...

...for everyone except those

afraid of heights...

...and even for them, if they will avoid

the following stations.

It's mystifying why all hotels

throughout the world choose only...

...the most abrasive fabrics

for their bedspreads.

London is among

the better foreign destinations...

...in the important category

of hotel plumbing.

The British have only mixed success

with American cuisine...

...but the traveller with persistence

can find a meal in London...

...not much different from a meal

in Cleveland.

Here you are, guvnor.

Just as sold at the Yankee Stadium.

Have a nice day.

- Can I help you?

- I'm here for my dog.

- Your last name?

- Leary.

Oh, just a minute.

Hi there. How was your trip?

Oh, it was...

Where's Edward? Is he all right?

Sure, he's all right.

We got on like a house afire.

Seems he took a shine to me.

I couldn't say why.

That's wonderfuI. So...

- ...could I have him back, please?

- Caroline will bring him.

- Maybe I could pay.

- Yes.

That will be $42.

Thank you.

Signature and phone.

I don't know if I mentioned before
