Fog Over Frisco Page #4

Young lady bought out young man. I

should have had a picture of that.

Where's that rat, Archie Van Ness?

I saw him going just

exactly where he belongs.

Come in.

A radiogram for you, Miss.

Oh, thank you, Thorne.

Thorn,...

...if you don't stop snooping

I'll have you discharged.

Hello!

What are you looking at?

Why, Arlene, you're trembling!

- Arlene, what's the matter with you?

- I want you to do something for me.

- Come here.

- I was afraid you'd be upset after...

- ... the scene with father this morning.

- Never mind that.

Oh, and by the way, I

gave Tony Sterling the...

...devil for allowing that

story to be printed.

Oh, don't be too hard on the poor boy.

Reporters make enough for a

bust in their lives as it is

...here, I want you to take care of

this. It contains some valuable papers...

...and you're so much

more dependable than I.

Are you planning to go

away or elope with Spencer?

You romantic child, of course not!

I'm too commercial,

think of wedding presents.

- Arlene...

- Well, if it's too much trouble

Not at all, I'll put it in

a safe place gladly. Bye.

Bye.

And please keep away from father until

I can get things straightened out.

Will I?

Thorne's speaking.

Thorne, I'll take here any

incoming calls this afternoon.

Very well, Miss.

Is that you, Arlene?

Did you get my message?

Be careful, darling, might be overheard.

- When are we going to get together?

- Ten thirty, Bello's.

All right, ten thirty

at Bello's. Be good.

Bye, darling.

I'll take it.

- Thorne's speaking.

- Thorne,...

...will you come up to my room, please?

Come in.

- You wanted me, Miss.

- Yes, Thorne.

Will you have a messenger deliver

this to Mrs. Spencer Carlton...

- ... at the Sherman Arms?

- Sherman Arms, yes, Miss.

Hello.

You'd better come right over.

We want to talk to you. Hurry up.

He'll be right along.

Good.

How did you come to know all this?

It was really by accident

that we discovered...

...stocks and bonds

lists had been stolen...

...among the deliveries from the

home office at the Honolulu branch.

- We cabled you immediately.

- Being a comparably recent addition...

...to Bradford and company, I feel

doubly upset over the situation.

You've done fine work at the

islands. It's we at this end...

...who are entirely to blame.

It's going to be a delicate

job to make restitution...

...without injuring our reputation.

We have an organisation capitalized

at twenty-five millions,...

...every penny of which will be jeopardized

if we lose the confidence to our clients

This scandal must not

become public property.

- Oh, by no means.

- There will be no prosecution.

I personally will bear the losses because
