Orchid for a Lady

Mother, is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, its father knows best, transcribed in Hollywood, starring Robert Young's father. A half hour visit with your neighbors, the Andesans, brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House.

The coffee that's always good to the last drop. Come let us bid the mourn awake, sad winter now declines, and every bird doth choose a mate. Today's St. Valentine's. Ah yes, the day of love and lovers St. Valentine's Day.

It was quite an event in Springfield this year, especially in a certain white frame house on Maple Street. There as usual the day contained its normal quota of confusion, and there also as usual it all began with breakfast, like this.

But are you sure your father didn't go back to bed? Yes, ma'am. He was almost finish shaving. I don't know. Every time I plan anything special for breakfast... Mommy, is 15 valentines a lot? Well, who got 15 valentines?

I'm going to. How do you know? Because I've got 75 cents and I'm gonna buy them. Darling, you don't buy valentines for yourself. You don't? Of course not. I'm going to. Kathy. I'm gonna get more Valentine's than any girl in my whole class.

Of all the girls I ever see, the one I love the best is me. And Shakespeare rolled over and died. Never mind, Betty. I ever see. What grammar? Well, it's poetry. Didn't you ever hear of poetic license?

Good grief. Do you need a license for that now? Good morning, Daddy. Good morning, Bob. Good morning, Gae, young Anderson. Bright-eyed and cheerful. Good morning, Jim. Hello, honey. Getting ready to sally forth into the world for another day of pop-over.
