тАЬThey are,тАЭ the clerk said.

тАЬI got me an idea,тАЭ said Too-Too Thomas.



DOC SAVAGE, Monk Mayfair and Ham Brooks were walking angrily down the impressive hallway
when Too-Too Thomas overtook them.

тАЬMy craw,тАЭ said Too-Too Thomas, тАЬis stuck plumb full of red tape.тАЭ

Monk Mayfair examined the leathery old Westerner. Monk was a short man who gave the startling
impression at times of being as wide as he was high. He had a large crop of rusty hair, a big grin, and
affected the manners of a circus clown.

тАЬTsk, tsk,тАЭ Monk said, shaking his head. тАЬPoor fellow. But I guess it happens often.тАЭ

Too-Too Thomas scowled. тАЬYou think I'm crazy, pardner?тАЭ

Monk grinned. тАЬOld-timer, I'll bet you've eaten a few tacks yourself. What's on your mind?тАЭ

тАЬCraw's full of red tape, like I said. Got a job that has to be done, and there ain't time to fool around no

тАЬWhat kind of help?тАЭ

Too-Too Thomas winked. тАЬKind you can give me, I expect.тАЭ He gestured. тАЬC'mon. Let's get outa this
