I'm behind the hosiery counter at Casey's Mammoth Store, and my vacation's up at eight o'clock to-morrow.

"Why don't you and Vall go to my farm, on Fifth Level Sicily," Tortha Karf suggested.
And I did hope," he added, regretfully, "that maybe he was tryin' to break off. It's been a good long spell, an extry long spell, since he had his last spree. Ah hum! it's a pity a good man should have that weak spot in him, ain't it? But if you could hang around a few more days, while the vacation's goin' on, I'd appreciate it, Al.
He generally clears out somewheres and locks himself up in a room, I judge, till his vacation's over. I suppose that's one way to have fun, but it ain't what I'd call hilarious."
