The Devil and Miss Jones Page #3

If I asked you too?

You haven't got a graham cracker have you?

Oh a grown man eating graham crackers.

Why there's no nurishment in that.

You eat that popover.

It won't bite you.

Won't it though?

Tunafish.

Like it?

I don't know yet.

Is it good tunafish?

Costs 12 cents a tin.

12 cents!

It's almost as good as you can buy.

Almost!

Go on, eat it.

Tastes good.

Thank you

Here, have another.

No no, thank you just the same.

Oh, one isn't enough to feed an infant.

Go on, take it.

How does a man exist without

a woman looking after him?

I could tell you were a single man.

You are single aren't you?

Yes, I am.

What did you do before this?

What kind of work?

Oh all kinds. You'd be surprised.

Were you out of work long

before you got this job?

Hmm. Yes.

How long were you employed at your last place?

Fifteen years.

And how long before that?

Ten years.

Isn't that awful.

Mr. Hooper's coming.

Hello, Mr. Hooper.

Good afternoon, Mr. Hooper.

How do you do Miss Ellis?

You usually sits here for a few minutes.

Oh. I hope that he's not angry.

Another popover!

Fire the section manager!

You know he ate almost all my lunch.

He was famished!

I gave him 50 cents.

He probably needed it so badly he

didn't want to spend it for lunch.

Oh dear.

Don't look up. A shopper is coming.

What?

A store shopper, they pretend they're customers.

But they're only testing you.

Be careful how you act.

Oh uh, may I help you madam?

Oh that's alright,

this gentleman will wait on me.

Yes, maam.

What can I do for you madam?

Do you sell slippers here?

Yes maam, we do.

These are slippers.

That's what we call them slippers.

They don't look very good. Oh but they are.

I wear a pair of these myself.

Woolies. Keep your feet nice and warm.

Real sheep wool.

Aren't they a little too warm for summer?

We never had any complaint

from the sheep. Haha.

I'll think about it. I hope you didn't mind

my inconvenicing you without buying anything.

Of course not madam.

I'm only here to serve you.

Are you chewing gum?

No maam.

I'm a store shopper.

Open your mouth.

Did you swallow that gum?

No maam, I wasn't chewing any gum.

Well, see that you don't in the future.

And don't lean on the counter.

Yes, maam.

Shoppers out.

Well you didn't do so badly.

Say! What are you doing? Keeping a diary?

It's kind of a diary.

A doomsday book.

What's a doomsday book?

A doomsday book contains the names of a lot of

people who are going to meet their doom.

I don't get it.

Employees! Listen employees!

Here I am! Right here!

Gather round please!

All the employees of the Neeleys Department Store.

I have a message for you.

They have fired some of us for organizing.
