District Attorney Sanderson took her in hand then, pelting her with questions about Nita's New York "gentlemen friends," but he made no more headway than Dundee. "We know that Nita Selim was afraid of someone!"
First in the Silver Fox Patrol comes Roy Blakeley that's me. I'm patrol leader and I've got eleven merit badges. I've got two sisters too. One of them is crazy about the movies. I've got seven scouts to look after and Captain Kidd, the parrot he's our mascot. Our patrol color is green and he's green with a yellow neck. He's got one merit badge-for music. Good night!
"I'm only glad Madam isn't going to be here this morning. By the way," the girl added, curiously, "who's your letter from? You and your friend trying to break into the movies?"

During the course of lunch she confided that her name was Kitty Mason, that she was an orphan, and that she was on her way to New York to study at a school for moving-picture actresses. "I sent my photograph and the manager wrote back that my face was one hundred per cent perfect for the movies," the girl explained.
"That's no way for a wife to talk. When I mention business you're supposed to look at me with ill-concealed awe.

You see, Santa Claus is a great big Newfoundland dog with a white beard, and he lives in a frosty kennel at the North Pole, all shining with icicles round the roof and windows. But it's so far away from everywhere that poor Santa couldn't get a servant. All the maids who went there refused to stay because it was so cold and lonely, and so far from the movies.
