Charlie Blake November November first

charlie arrived last night suffering

from an advanced case of hurry hurry

indeed manifested by compulsion to

continually make wisenheimer remarks the

feeling here is hopeful person ID was as

expected nothing unusual nothing unusual

hello who's that up there three-fingered

Brown Oh mr. Blake where is you Sarah

maimed right all I'm jamming their

fingers in that file cabinet if that's

what you mean

food what's you're right they've got you

so man none of this is happening no

everybody's man I don't know how she can

tell you apart oh by our fingerprints

and our dental charts and you seem to

know a great deal about the general

procedure around here fingers bleeding

I don't blame it come here come in no

you stay off this finger and you'll be

fine mmm she seems to run our own

drugstore it's quite a collection of

pills

looking at your pills I'm sorry there's

no ways Sarah doesn't keep any eggs out

of respect for my vegetarianism

your finger caught in the fire

oh well that's what you get for snooping

what kind of report was that nothing

unusual hmm

how do you suppose that makes me feel I

was only trying to point out that it's a

little bit of loosening up you could be

salvaged salvaged you write that way

about a sinking ship Sarah not about a

human being are Charlie Charlie what do

you leave it lying around I mean you

know a man's gonna milk a man is going

to look you should know my appearance

about such personal things so that's

where you will always buy my opinions

now excuse me I just like to get a feel

and you look without feeling guilty and

what can I see oh that's not bad and you

you don't have to crunch your finger

okay I get reviewed every morning spend

my experience that it's better if we

correspond on such personal matters Oh

it'll be a great correspondence all I

get is your opinion what about my

opinion well up there on the writing

table next to the bed is a velvet book

hmm anything you want to tell me you'd

write down in the book anything that

occurs to you that way you see we need

never fight we simply we write down our

grievances and when we are with one

another we just deal with the day

November 2nd review of yesterday's

events she was serious about my clothes

actually set up an appointment for me

with the number one custom tailor in

Brooklyn Heights who dealt with imported

English fabrics early I told her I

didn't need suits I needed shoes she

assured me that her number one custom

tailor could outfit me from head to toe

Monte the mod was not to be believed nor

was that Carnaby kept it looked terrible

lovely on him as to the imported fabrics

they were imported from the Chicago

stockyards and designed by the Boston

Strangler the sweaters of Brooklyn

Heights number one tailor were quite

something else

they were alive there was a beige llama

still shedding I explained about my

allergy the zebra not yet housebroken

would have to be walked twice a day no I

drew the line took a stand though I had

agreed to wear the cow pants none of

this other livestock would ever touch my

body not wishing to hurt anyone's

feelings

Sarah was quite diplomatic good she said

we will take them both

it was my darkest hour

Charlie is a very good sport about

wearing the costumes of his native land

we bought him a pair of Prince Edward

boots and with every step he took I

heard Rule Britannia we did the

neighborhood runs and he was readily

accepted by the group the faggus

brothers I assured him that my office

platform was quite safe in spite of the

cracked board he has accepted apples as

our basic food staple and the hasten his

changeover he can no longer wear his

alarm watch I've asked him to put pen to

paper and write his first poem in this

instance I will accept like verse

third day I was about to write a poem

about my sweater when this emergency

arose at Sara's 23rd Street apartment

well thank heavens you're here do

something anything before it's too late

all right mr. Schumacher now tell me

where is the patient where she asks now

where would a bathtub be on the roof it

is in the bathroom she's probably right

sir

talk talk talk talk talk she's she's

probably left the faucets on I'm happy

charlie

it's my responsibility talk talk talk

hailer you neglected to replace your

stop event another job for the silent

service you should live to see such a

thing okay Sara you're on

mr. Schumacher now if this should happen

again please don't hesitate to call I of

course panicked and resorted to the

stick with the bone but she must a

plumber that she was eventually poured

expresso grounds into the drain and

saved the day I can now see a seven

sided box as a distinct possibility

Charlie is coming along nicely where's

our first Sunday together and to

deliberately slow him down we took a

leisurely walk across the bridge and

then took a trip on the ferry that goes

around Manhattan Island we bought to

Sunday Times is for the puzzle it was

determined that I would do the acrosses

and he will give the ups and downs you

know I really think that if we pooled

our solutions we could breeze through

this I don't think so I only I only have

one word but it it is a very big word

Rumpelstiltskin let me look no I don't

think that it would do you any good I

really I don't it's in the lower left

hand corner I don't know but I think you

took the easy part of the puzzle easy do

you really think that Rumpelstiltskin is

the easy part

a four-letter word for magnificent

the capital of Alaska what the capital

of Alaska is no a four-letter word for

impossible Sara the capital of Alaska

actually is Fairbanks

so the Nome is wrong no matter how I

spell it a four-letter word for our

aegis Sara if Fairbanks is right then

Rumpelstiltskin is wrong

Charlie what is what what did you say a

word for wonderful Sara weird Charlie

where where did where you see that

I will never again do a crossword puzzle

without the word Sara writing itself in

nor can I believe that you are so many

contradictions all at once I do miss my

watch but I'm able to tell time by the

angle of the Sun and at night

who cares after due consideration a much

serious thought I have decided to do my

poem about the fairy and not my sweater

for I've grown quite fond of my sweater

and have named it ranks I got it

Charles Blake yeah telegram oh yes thank

you what is it it's a telegram Oh for me

aren't you gonna open it no if I open it

I'll only read it maybe you got drafted

again they do that all the way from

England

it's bad news

Sarah I've I've got to call my office

you have been drafted

no but it's urgent

Michael well there's the telephone I

guess I better not listen no I think you

ought to listen well I'd uh I think I'd

rather not
