But now, from June 7, 1959, here is the Wayward Erris Matter.

Johnny Dollar.

This is Al Turner at New Britain Mutual.

Hi, Al. What goes with you these days?

But Johnny, one of our important clients is very anxious to get in touch with you.

Says that she's an old friend of yours.

Oh, who's that?

Her name is Mrs. Virginia Haskell.

Virginia Haskell?

That's right.

Sorry, Al, but I'm afraid I never heard of her. Before she got married, about a year ago, her name was Van Doren. Ginny Van Doren? Yes. Oh, well, now that's something else again. And I mean something. Well, then you do know her. One of the most delightful bits of feminine polkritude I ever ran up against. Believe me, a young man's fancy didn't have to wait for Spring to turn to thoughts of her. Now, what's that mean? Oh, Al, even I had serious ideas about that gal at one time. Oh? Yeah, right after college. Isn't every kid at that age intrigued by the idea of marrying into a fortune? And very beautiful. At least she was when I knew her.

Still is, Johnny. So she's married to somebody by the name of Haskell, huh? Gordon Haskell. They live on

Birchbrook Road, down in Bronxville, New York. Funny. What? Well, when I knew her, that blonde

Sharmer didn't have eyes for anybody, but Paul Snowden. "'Who's Paul Snowden?' "'Childhood, sweetheart, that sort of thing. "'Poor boy, making good on his own, you know the bit. "'Ah, yes, too proud to marry her because of her money. "'But she swore that she'd never marry anybody else, that he was her one true love. "'But I guess she changed her mind. What did she want to see me about, Al? She didn't say. She did make it clear, however, that it has to do with some of the family insurance. Well, that's as good an excuse as any. Well, then, do you want to run on down there? For a longing look at the gorgeous Ginny Van Duren. But it'll cost you money, Al Listen, Johnny
