Personal notice, dangerous my stockin' trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you got a job for me, George Valentine. Right, full details. Standard Oil Company of California on behalf of independent chevron gas stations and standard stations throughout the West invites you to let George do it.

The Spider and the Fly, another adventure of George Valentine. Dear Mr. Valentine, I don't believe in including on anyone. I believe that few as they are, the scattered residents of Oakview County, are among the nicest people in the world, particularly to me.

A newcomer in the passport, a woman alone. But oh, Mr. Valentine, I also believe that never in my life of having so frightened and upset as I have by my very next door neighbours, the strange people who hide behind the walls of the barter estate.

Now, please understand me, I can smile when people refuse to speak, put up bars and signs and sick their dogs on me. But when they nearly cause my death, because they've torn up my whole road for the sake of secrecy, believe you, me, the little worm turns.

I'm so mad I could sit a throat from ear to ear. And you're the one who's going to help me to do it. But it's a fun thing they are going to do. You will see our way from the cargo on.

Look, look, we barely got here and your letter didn't explain what we... I hope the directions act good enough. Say anything. You'll find out as much as I have. I never actually see them. Come on.

You can pour it in front of the can. You can do things when I can show you in one minute. Ring the bell. You'll see what kind of a place it is. Walk with a lot of love.
