A Thousand Violins
It began with a lovesick violinist whose mash notes all sounded off-key.
Then I met a long-haired violin maker and his daughter, a girl with ambitions to play the harp.
Only the prize guy was the one with the gun.
He fixed it, so I ended up playing second fiddle to a corpse.
It was the kind of a day that when there's nothing left to do, you go get a haircut.
So I settled down in Sam's barber shop up the street and waited for my number to come up.
Instead, I got a cloud of three-for-a-dime cigar smoke.
Anthony J. Lyon, my boss, popped in...
Ah, so there you are, Jeffrey.
I've been looking all over for you.
Well, keep looking, fatso.
I'm in the chair next.
Your haircut? Oh, that can wait, Jeffrey.
We've got a new client.
You want a detective or a sheepdog? It's very funny, Jeffrey.
I'll admit you could stand some trimming around the ears, but today I've agreed to help our client.
He gets the trimming.
Jeffrey, how can you say such a thing? We must get back to the office at once.
Mr. Rome is waiting.
Mr. Rome? Charles Rome, a young violinist, very talented.
