"I see that you have a radio set here," remarked Mr. Brandon, seating himself and looking around the room. "Y-y-y-yes," stuttered the man. "W-what about it?" The inspector threw back his coat and showed his badge.
"Celia!" "W-what, dear?" "Don't you know I cannot marry?" "Why not, Philip?" "Could I marry Ailsa Craig unless I first told her that my father and my mother were never married?" he said steadily.

Jethro parted his coat tails, and sat down again in the armchair. Wetherell, not wishing to be intrusive, went to his desk again, leaving the first citizen standing among the barrels. "W-what other time?"
