She's on a lot of people's wines.

Well, she's no daydream to me.

She's a nightmare. Oh, go.

Well, that face of her has may not be worth quite a million, but it's worth at least a hundred thousand that's what we've got it in short for.

America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

And now Act one of yours truly Johnny Dollar to the home Office Universal Adjustment Bureau,

Hartford, Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my

investigation of the model picture matter. Expense account item 1, a dollar 20 for a taxi from my apartment to your office, Pat, where I picked up Dorothy Blair's

address and headed for New York.

That's item 2, 3620. I arrived at her apartment just as the doctor left.

Even with a couple of bandages on her face, I think you've got a bargain, Pat, ensuring it for only a hundred thousand.
