long name for the office.

I guess there is no objection.

Thanks.

And by the way, your work

has been very satisfactory.

I think you have a special

facility for finding good stories.

I'm so glad.

Now I have some news

for you not quite so pleasant.

Oh?

It is rather pleasant

news for me, however.

We are just entering our busy season.

That means that I must

come here and work nights.

I've picked you to help me.

Oh, I shan't mind a bit.

I love the work.

It will be rather late sometimes.

I hope your husband won't feel upset.

Oh my, no. You see, Jay is

busy at his office until midnight.

And ours .. is a modern marriage.

Oh.

He'll be glad to know

I've got something to do.

But tell him I'll see to

you getting home safely.

I am used to going about alone.

Well, we won't send you home hungry.

We'll have a little supper served

here. For a bite on the way home.

It will be rather fun, won't it.

I know it will for me.

Where do you lunch, by the way?

Oh usually down at the coffee shop.

I know a quiet place where we can

discuss business and not be disturbed.

Let's go there. By all means.

Fine.

There is one reader I didn't

think the boss could read.

Looks like he's going

in for night work again.

That owl gets his best work in at night.

Yes, I've heard of this Canfield woman.

Talks about children and home stuff.

Well, if you think an old

hen like that is good enough.

Sure. We've got to fill that hour.

Mrs Canfield is here.

She's here.

I'll have lunch with you in

about ten minutes. Goodbye.

Show the old girl in.

Mrs Canfield?

The old girl herself.

That transom.

Isn't exactly discreet.

Well, now that I've seen

you, Mrs Canfield.

Don't apologise.

Just close the transom.

Huh?

Oh yes.

Married?

Why, yes.

Then you should have

that transom nailed shut.

There are more ways than one

of holding the home together.

Mrs Canfield.

We'd like you to give a series of

broadcasts for one of our clients.

I see.

I haven't made up my

mind how much to ask.

Oh, I think we can come to terms.

I warn you, I'm a very

expensive old woman.

Mrs Canfield, be merciful.

You know, I missed my breakfast

and I'm in a bad humor.

If I had some lunch, I might

be more amenable to reason.

Well then, for heaven's sakes

let me take you to lunch.

Righto.

I know a quiet place where we can

discuss business without being ..

Disturbed.

So, let's go there. By all means.

Fine.

Why, it's nearly midnight.

We should get extra pay for this.

I've waded through six manuscripts.

Did you find anything?

Tripe.

But Loxford usually sends in good stuff.

Nah.

The boss liked his last story.
