Call Me Mrs. Miracle Page #3

---

I barely have time

for my own basic needs,

and now you want me

to mentor you?

I hired you for marketing,

not designing.

You're right. I'm sorry.

It's not a horrible idea, this little

black dress of yours that's reversible

and goes from day to night.

I mean, it needs a great deal of work,

and it's obviously not couture,

but it's not a horrible idea.

Thank you?

Morning.

Morning.

Got you, you little weasel.

Good morning. And welcome

to Finley's Toy Department.

May I help you?

Help me?

Yeah.

Are you shopping for your children?

Boys or girls?

No, I...

We have a huge selection

of classic toys, so you follow me.

I'm sorry. Um, uh...

Who are you?

"Mrs. Miracle. "

Yes.

Actually, I'm Mrs. Merkle, but

they made a mistake on my name tag.

I kept it because it sounds so hopeful

at this time of year, don't you think?

Ahem. I'm Jake Finley.

Oh. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Can I interest you in some puzzles

or game boards?

Oh, and we have Slinkys.

This is Finley's Department Store.

Oh, my. I am so silly.

Of course. You're J.R.'s son.

So you know my father then?

Oh, only by reputation.

No. See, I've never had the pleasure

of meeting him,

but I am so glad to have met you.

Oh, I see you have your coffee.

How did that go?

Fine.

Ahem. See, I'm the store manager.

The manager?

Oh, isn't that wonderful.

You must be so proud.

And the funny thing is,

is I don't remember getting a call

from Human Resources about you.

Oh, well, I'm just here

to help you save Christmas.

And the toys are

just flying off the shelves.

Actually, the biggest one of all

are the train sets.

Train sets?

Yeah.

Well, how many have you sold?

Two.

Two?

That's right.

Oh. Have some Christmas cookies.

My mother used to bake them

just like this.

The stars were always my favorite.

Oh, I must bring a plate of these

to your father.

Uh... No. Please don't do that.

Well, why not?

My father doesn't

celebrate Christmas.

Could you excuse me for a moment,

please?

Oh, sure.

Okay. I'll be right back.

All right. Heh.

Gloria, do you know anything

about this new employee?

I thought you hired her.

Yeah. She was standing outside

this morning

wearing that name tag

when we opened.

Could you do me a favor?

Could you call HR

and see if they sent her?

I will, yes.

I think she might just be

a confused old lady

who wandered in off the street.

You think so?

Now, come on. Her name is Miracle.

She says she's here

to save Christmas.

Unfortunately, we may need

a miracle this Christmas.

You have no idea.
