noon
Next time you nabs me writin ' a form sheet on any unknown , you can hang out the waste paper sign and send me to the scows . Look at the mess I makes of this here Mallory business ! Why , first off I has him billed for a Percy boy that had strayed into the general office from the drygoods district . He had a filin ' job in the bond room , and when he drew his envelope on Saturdays it must have set the Corrugated Trust back for as much as twelve D. Course , I did n't pay no attention to him , until one noon I finds him in the next chair at the dairy lunch . He 's got his mug of half white and half black , and his two corned beef splits , with plenty of mustard , and he 's just squarin ' off for a foodfest , when I squats down with two hunks of pie and all the cheese I could get at one grab . `` Hello , Algy ! '' says I. `` Where 's the charlotte russe and the cup of tea ? ''
