She was way out in front,

and Mexican Pete nosed her out.

Oh, I see.

Lady Pillsbury's a racehorse.

What did you think she was,

a mockingbird?

No, no, uh...

Yes, I met her last night.

Really?

To me, Lady Pillsbury...

...is one of the most charming

women I have ever met.

Oh, do tell me more about her.

Yes, do tell us.

Just a minute, just a minute.

I want you to meet

a friend of mine.

This is Mr. Edgar Cowhide,

a big leather fellow.

Say, you guys should sort of

get together.

Oh, Charlie, you wait here.

I'm going out and get

a glass of bromo suss...

A cup of tea. I'll be back.

Yes, uh...

Yes, quite

We were just speaking

Oh, really? Hmm.

Yes, she is really

very remarkable.

Well, she was, but not anymore.

Do you know her?
