“But the maid at the hotel said someone from the studio called yesterday afternoon for it. It’s gone!”
“Certainly I didn’t send for it,” he retorted. “Evidently it was some one’s idea of a practical joke.”

All I’ve got to say is that someone had better be careful.”
“Are you insinuating anything?” demanded the radio director.
