- Well, Harvey told me last night that Mrs. McElhinney's Aunt Rose was going to drop in on her unexpectedly this morning from Cleveland.

- And did she?

- Did she what?

- Aunt Rose. Did she come, just as Harvey said she would?

- Oh, yes, yes. Yes, these things always work out just the way Harvey says they will. He's very, very versatile.

- Did I tell you he could stop clocks?

- To what purpose?

- Well, you've heard the expression, His face would stop a clock.

- Well, Harvey can look at your clock and stop it. And you can go anywhere you like with anyone you like and stay as long as you like. And when you get back, not one minute will have ticked by.

- Flyspecks! Flyspecks! I've been spending my life among flyspecks while miracles have been leaning on lampposts at 18th and Fairfax.

- Oh, he'd be willing at any time.

- But so far I haven't been able to think of anyplace I'd rather be.

- I always have a wonderful time wherever I am, whomever I'm with.
