"Right-o my shellfish friend!" I said from the easy chair.
"Now if you will kindly explain just WHAT is going on here--without prevarication, please!"

"Now, just calm down CC. I assure you that you are not in danger here in my office! Suppose you begin with the beginning..."
At this very moment, Effie returned looking quite pale.
"Constable--I can't believe it!" She gasped, "You asked if I could spot anything different outside and, believe me, I have SEEN SOMETHING!"
