Pat Novak Says...

"I closed the shop early and I came home to read. Well, it wasn't a bad book, if you ever wanted to start a forest fire. It was one of those historical things, and the girl was just getting her second wind and her third man, when the door to my apartment opened, and the place began to get crowded. From where I sat, the crowd looked good. She sauntered in, moving slowly from side to side like a hundred and eighteen pounds of warm smoke. Her voice was alright, too. Reminded you of a furnace, full of marshmallows."

From Pat Novak for Hire November 24, 1946 - "Go Away, Dixie Gillian"
