Yes, indeed. During the day's preceding Christmas, there was the thrill of wondering what kind of gifts I'd received. Then in the days following, there's been the thrill of wondering what I'd get in exchange for the Christmas gifts I received.
By last Thursday, though, I had made up my mind and paid a visit to the exchange counter of Sherry's department store. Pardon me, are you in charge here? Yes, ma'am. Dale is the name, Rex Dale. And who might you be?
I might be Mrs. Boynton if I keep my New Year's resolution. Right now, the name is Constance Brooks. Several of my friends have purchased gifts here that I'd like to exchange. I see. First of all, there's the plastic monstrosity in this box.
That doesn't seem quite the way to talk about a gift from a friend, Miss Brooks. This happens to have been presented to me by my principal, Mr. Conklin. And believe me, it's terrifying. No Christmas present freely given should be referred to as terrifying.
