 All land sakes alive, here comes your father, and I'm supposed to be at the office right now. I'll scoot out through the garage so he won't see me. Now, for mercy's sakes, don't tell him I was just here. All right, I won't. Hello, Dad. Taking the morning walk? Well, yes, partly. Otherwise, I come down street to get the mail and a few other things. Say, where in thunder is Amelia Cobb Parish? Well, at the moment, I don't know. Probably she's on her way to the office.
