the quick way.

Okay.

Just a minute.

Give this to Lauder.

Wait just a minute.

Wait a minute. As an attorney

I refuse to submit to a search.

I warn you.

Sorry, Mr Young, but you know how it is.

All right, take it easy.

Do you recognize these, Miss Gardner?

Yes.

What are they?

They're photostatic copies of Alexander Carston's

private books which I kept in code.

Would you be good enough to explain

weeks off.

I said I'm going to take 4 or 5

weeks off. Maybe six.

On account of what?

On account of I'm gonna marry

the girl.

And that's news.

Would you feed a lady now?

That's not news.
