A Ruby for Pearl

You're twice as sure with two great names. Frigidaire and General Motors. The Frigidaire presents Herbert Marshall as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X.

The Frigidaire, Serb and more American homes than any other mate. And all Frigidaire presents Herbert Marshall as Ken Thurston, a man called X. There was nothing unusual in the way it started.

The girl was one of Peggon's big moments. And Ken had met the two of them accidentally in a New York Sepper Club. All in all a pretty ordinary incident. With not the slightest hint of the strange and dangerous things to follow.

That's right, Mr. Thirsten. Of course it's all right with me, you understand? Why, Peggon, you told me. Just give me one of my... Hardly, Miss Martens. I, um... ...been admiring that pin you're wearing. It's very unusual.

I mean, it's all them different colored jewels. Ha ha ha. I... I just gave her that this evening, Mr. Thirsten. Two hundred samolians. Nothing but the best for per... Oh, Peggon! Two hundred bucks, eh?

Miss Martens, I'll give you, uh... 250 right now. Do you want to sell it? Mr. Thirsten. Gee, where's... I mean, well, Gosh, you gotta kind of sentimental value and all. Well, I just couldn't possibly... Gosh, let me get it on pin!

Pearl! Here you are. Five fifties. Thanks. Pagon, tell me about you and him going on secret missions, but he didn't say nothing about you being such a heavy, spent. Yeah, well, not a fatter. I came and had a look for Pagon. They're gonna leave right away. On a secret mission.
