Now let's see how things are going with The Great Gilder's Leaves. Yes, it's been a long hard day, a long hard week. The great man comes fudging home from the office and hardly has the door open.

When word goes out over the great find. The uncle seems a little tired this evening this morning so I wouldn't go cutting up any daggos. He's tired tonight Leroy so watch it. He's at a beat at Craig Oaks on a war path.

Dinner is a silent meal. Marjorie is solicitous if her uncle's wants and Leroy eats with cautious dinkiness. After it's over the storm cloud, which has been hovering over the dining table, moves into the living room.

Yielders leave, flops down in his easy chair. See! For a moment, he just sits there, and then he begins. Where's the evening paper? Tom found it. Where's the evening paper? I don't ask much of you children, but one thing I do ask.

When I come home at night, all tired out, I want the evening paper. You hear that, Leroy? Now where is it? You're sitting on it. Oh. Oh. Find place for it. Don't mind me. I'm nobody.

I just pay the bill. They're on here. That's all. I come home here all tired out. All I ask is to read the even. UNO crisis looms. World peace at stake. Little Hope and Housing Shorty seen by official.

Riots and far east as Manchurian tension grows. War inevitable says Congressman Rumbauer. Preparation our only hope. Weapons more fearful than atom bombs seen by experts. I found it. Turn on the radio, Leroy. Okay. Trouble, trouble, that's all they give you.
