Babysitting on New Year's Eve

Well as some of you may remember last night was New Year's Eve. Like everyone else our Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School school had looked forward to celebrating with considerable anticipation. But as the poet Robert Burns put it, the best laid plans of mice and men gang after glaze.

I don't know about the men, but I'm certainly one of the mice Robbie had in mind, because last night somebody really ganged up on my glaze. Everything started off normally enough Saturday morning as I joined my landlady at the breakfast table.

Here, Connie, here's some tomato juice. He'll do your good there. What is this, a down payment on tomorrow morning? Oh, you won't need any tomorrow. Not if you come to my party tonight. What kind of a party are you having, Mrs. Davis?

Very quiet, Connie. I've just asked some of the neighbors in to listen to the radio, and maybe dance a bit. It'll be a nice, relaxed evening. Of course, I am having some help with the refreshments.

Who's helping you? Barney the bartender from Mulligan, Saloon. That should lead to a very relaxed evening earlier than you think. Oh, he's not going to serve any whiskey. You see, ever since he's been working for Mr. Mulligan, Barney's insistent on having New Year's Eve off.

Why is that? He can't stand drunks. Barney likes nothing better than to drop over here and make us a little friendly bowl of punch. If I remember correctly, Connie, you sampled some of Barney's punch last year.
