After bruising his knee on a chair, he reached the telephone. "Hello," he growled. " Are you an official of the telephone company?" asked a voice. "Yes, what can I do for you?" "Tell me," said the voice, "how it feels to get out of bed at two o'clock to answer a wrong number?" - Gargoyle COLLAR-PINS?
