It's also quite true that I don't have a great deal to do any morning, but I like not doing anything. It gives me something to do. And I don't like telephone calls, but then they're fair with it.

That's why I have two telephones, one a public phone that I can ignore, and the other a private phone, which I better answer if I know what's good for me and I do. What did you say, darling?

Oh, I said good morning, dear. How are you, darling, busy? Yes, no. Mostly no. Why? Somebody has stolen Mrs. Kenmurdick's pearls, and I want you to find them. Uh, possibly you think you have the police department on the line.

This is the residence of Walter Gage. Walter Gage speaking. If you aren't out here in less than half an hour, you'll receive a small parcel by registered mail containing a diamond engagement ring. I'll tell Mr. Gage when he comes in.
