And he is listening to every word and it is plain he is impressed and right in the middle of it he reaches over the table and he says, “Miss Riggs, shake hands with me,” he says, “for in you I have a political counsellor and you must promise to stand by me and together we will save Him.”
Then I says, “Mr. Porkin, we will shake hands but what I am trying to do is not so much to save Him as to save the American people from the great pain of finding out about Him.”
And so Mom we are friends even better than I have been with Mr. Edgerton and you need have no more worry about the future of
Your high-up daughter
Mame.
