57-xx-xx (xxx) Bessie's Vacation

From way back. Willard Waterman has the Great Gilder's Leap. Sweet at this time brings you a new adventure of the Great Gilder's Leap written by Virginia Safford Lin. Bessie! Bessie! Have you gone?

Well, Mr. Gilder's Leap, you know I wouldn't go without telling you because then you wouldn't know I was gone. Yeah, that's logical. Bessie, I wanted to ask you a few questions. I'm not very good at the answers, but I'll be right in there pitching.

That's a baseball expression. Yeah, I know. I picked it up off a sandlot. Beat it. Well, go and put it back. Bessie, now please listen a minute. Where did you put the papers? I must have to make out my report for the State Water Commission.

Reports under V. That's fine. Oh, another thing. Where's the list of bills that's overdue? Oh, that's under V also. V. Oh, natch. I don't want to be unreasonable, but just for the fun of it.

Why is everything filed under V? Mr. Gildesleeve, I'm going to be away for a few days, so I filed everything under V for vacation. V for vacation. Oh, oh, yes. Yeah, excuse me for misjudging, you Bessie.

Well, I'll forgive you. Yeah. Well, I really must be going now, and I do hope you have a very nice time while I'm gone. Well, thank you, Bessie, but I'm the one who should be saying that to you.

Thank you, Mr. Gildesleeve. I want to wish you a very nice vacation, lots of fun and good times and a real rest. Nice time with some nice men. Just carefree and gay and... Bessie? Who I'm Bessie?

You're Bessie? What's the matter? Why are you crying? Because you're going away for a few days? Oh no! Well then what is it? Is it? Yes, yes. Yes, yes. Why good is it? In just sixty seconds we'll hear what's going on in Summerfield.
