I think I'm like any other married woman. I like my husband to have friends. Only Chris didn't just have a friend. He had an obsession. His pal was Joe Parker, the famous foreign car attendant.

He and Chris had grown up together, gone to college together, room together. Yes, and always spent Chris's allowance together. You know, Damon and Pithier's stuff, Except that Chris made Mr. Damon look like a piker.

Just a minute I heard that, Mrs. Price. Now Chris, you know it's true. Remember when Joe sent that cable from India? Well, what can you do when your best friends in jail in a foreign country with cobras hissing at him?

You send him $2,000. We'd saved up to buy a baby grand piano. Auburn, Mary, after all, Joe is my pal. Oh, sure, I discovered that on our honeymoon. When we got to Lake Michigan and found that Joe had taken the boat, we had charted, and gone off chasing a lot of gangsters.

Well, he caught him, too. That was Joe's first big yarn. My first big disillusionment. When I think of how we just sat around on that pier. Well, that story got Joe as Java's foreign correspondent.

Yeah, what did it get you? Splinters. Well, anyway, it did one thing for us, Chris. It made me sure our marriage was all right. It did. Any marriage that could survive that honeymoon could survive anything.
