"Now what do you know about that?" remarked the vice president of Cuban Crucible to the senior partner of Edgerton & Edgerton. "I don't know anything about it!" answered the elegant Wilfred miserably. "I don't know the law of garbage, and there's no use pretending that I do. You'd better get a garbage lawyer." "I thought all lawyers were supposed to know the law!" sniffed Mrs. Pumpelly.
Pierpont Pumpelly keeping a cockatoo. What did anybody want of a cockatoo? He concluded that it must be an ancestral hereditament from Athens, Ohio. Nervously he ascended the stairs to what Edna called the saloon. "So you've come at last!" cried she. "Well, what have you got to say to this? Is it against the law to go round a corner at more than four miles an hour?" Now, whereas Mr.
In the name of the people of the State of New York To "Jane" Wells, the name "Jane" being fictitious: You are hereby summoned to appear before the District Magistrate's Court, Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, on the eighth day of May, 1920, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, to answer the charge made against you by Edna Pumpelly for violation of Section Two, Article Two of the Traffic Regulations providing that a vehicle waiting at the curb shall promptly give way to a vehicle arriving to take up or set down passengers, and upon your failure to appear at the time and place herein mentioned you are liable to a fine of not exceeding fifty dollars or to imprisonment of not exceeding ten days or both.
Pumpelly gave way to a fit of indignation that would have done her proud even in Athens, Ohio. Fire-breathing, she descended from her car and, approaching the limousine, told the imperturbable chauffeur that even if he did work for Mrs. Rutherford Wells, Mrs. Rutherford Wells was no better than anybody else, and that gave him no right to block up the whole street.
"Oh, boy, lead me to it!" murmured Roony in the most approved manner of East Fourteenth Street. "Which way?" "Come with me!" intoned Simmons with the exalted gesture of an archbishop conducting an ecclesiastical ceremonial. "What does it say?" asked her husband hurriedly as the butler led the cop to it. "Sh-h!" warned Mrs. Pumpelly. "James, kindly retire!"
Pumpelly told her to her face exactly what she thought of her and ordered her to move her car along so her own could get in front of the vestibule. Mrs. Wells ignored her. Deliberately and as if there were no such person as Mrs.
"Tutt & Tutt," cooed Bonnie, instantly flashing one of the firm's cards. "Thanks," said Pumpelly, putting it carefully into his pocket. "I may need you sometime perhaps even sooner. Now, if by any chance you'd care for a highball " "Lead me right to it!" sighed Bonnie ecstatically. "Me, too!" echoed Wilfred, to the great astonishment of those assembled. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

"What is his name?" "Mr.
"What you want is a police-court lawyer if you're goin' in for this sort of thing." "My Lord! What's this now, Simmons?" she raved as the butler deprecatingly made his appearance again with another paper. "I think, madam," he answered soothingly, "that it's a summons for allowing the house man to use the hose on the sidewalk after eight A.M. Roony just brought it." "H'm!" remarked Mr. Pumpelly.
But that was Randolph!" "Was Randolph muzzled?" inquired Mr. Edgerton maliciously. "Of course not! He only weighs two pounds and a quarter!" protested Mrs. Pumpelly. "He can bite all right, just the same!" interpolated Pierpont. "But what shall I do?" wailed Mrs. Pumpelly, now thoroughly upset. "Guess you'll have to take your medicine, same's other violators of the law," commented her husband.
