The Man From Jaune Cache (HSG)

First no notice, Stange is my stock and trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you've got a job for me, George Valentine. Right full details. Well, it's time to batten down the hatches again, because here comes George Valentine. You must know George by now.

He's the fellow who makes trouble to keep you out of it. Now perhaps that doesn't make too much sense, but after all, what does in this day and time? So I just want you to be content with the fact that this has let George do it and let the chips fall where they may.

Dear Mr. Valentine, it's one thing to be the keeper of your brother, it's quite another to be the keeper of your brother in law. Particularly one that you haven't met, that you don't want to meet, that you wish would stay in South America where he belongs, and that shouldn't have managed your sister in the first place.

When my sister wrote that she was meeting her husband's ship here in town naturally, I insisted that they be my guest. But Mr. Valentine, the price of hospitality seems to run high. No sooner had I put the welcome mat out, than the word must have got runned.

The X must be on my doorstep. Because now my house is being watched. I am being watched. Well, Mr. Valentine, I am not an excavation, and I have no intention of letting brotherly love dig me into any sort of premature grave.

Sincerely, Franklin Jay Scott. MUSIC Sit down, sit down. This is a lovely place, Mr. Scott. Thank you, Miss Brooks. It's been in the Scott family for years. Yes, I've heard of your family. Certainly not on the financial page.
