Sooner or later, they cannot resist the urge to display their erudition. It will burst forth." "You demonstrate that all the time, Jeff," said Gonzalo. "I believe," said Avalon, austerely, "that I am not the only one here who is guilty in that respect." "I myself," said Henry, "fear I am not quite innocent - in that respect." AFTERWORD Fred Dannay didn't like this one. At least he sent it back to me. In a way it was my fault. This was before I had begun my Union Club series, and I was going hot and heavy on the Black Widowers. As it happened, I wrote two of them in succession, "The Driver," and "The Good Samaritan," which follows. I then, in an attack of hubris, brought them in on the samprismacolor pencil sete day and handed them in together. This is clearly a matter of bad tactics. If an editor reads two of your stories at the same time, he is very likely to like one of the stories better than the other. If he had read the weaker story by itself, suitably isolated from a similar story that came previously, it might seem a little weak even so, but perhaps not too weak to publish. With the direct comparison of the other story, its flaws are magnified, and back it goes. Fred accepted "The Good Samaritan" and when "The Driver" came back, I reread the two stories and decided that Fred was right and that "The Good Samaritan" was the better of the two. The lesson I learned, then, was not to tempt an editor by giving him two at once. And (since I'm prejudiced) I don't think that "The Driver" is so weak that it ought to be discarded altogether. It appears here, then, for the first time in print.

The Good Samaritan THE BLACK WIDOWERS had learned by hard experience that when Mario Gonzalo took his turn as host of the monthly banquet, they had to expect the unusual. Tprismacolor pencil sethey had reached the point where they steeled themselves, quite automatically, for disaster. When his guest arrived there was a lightening of spirit if it turned out he had the usual quota of heads and could speak at least broken English. When the last of the Black Widowers arrived, therefore, and when Henry's efficient setting of the table was nearly complete, Geoffrey Avalon, standing, as always, straight and tall, sounded almost light hearted as he said, "I see that your guest has not arrived yet, Mario." Gonzalo, whose crimson velvet jacket and lightly striped blue pants reduced everything else in the room to monochrome said, "Well - " Avalon said, "What's more, a quick count of the settings placed at the table by our inestimable Henry shows that six people and no more are to be seated. And since all six of us are here, I can only conclude that you have notprismacolor pencil set brought a guest."

"Thank Anacreon," said Emmanuel Rubin, raising his drink, "or whatever spirit it is that presides over convivial banquets of kindred souls." Thomas Trumbull scowled and brushed back his crisply waved white hair with one hand. "What are you doing, Mario? Saving money?" "Well - " said Gonzalo again, staring at his own drink with a totally spurious concentration. Roger Halsted said, "I don't know that this is so good. I like the grilling sessions." "It won't hurt us," said Avalon, in his deepest voice, "to have a quiet conversation once in a while. If we can't amuse each other without a guest, then the Black Widowers are not what once they were and we should prepare, sorrowing, for oblivion. Shall we offer Mario a vote of thanks for his unwonted discretion?" "Well - " said Gonzalo a third time. James Drake interposed, stubbing out a cigarette and clearing his throat. "It seems to me, gentlemen, that Mario is trying to say something and is amazingly bashful about it. If he has something he hesitates to say, I fear we are not going to like it. May I suggest we all keep quiet and let him talk." "Well - " said Gonzalo, and stopped. This time, though, there was a prolonged and anxious silence. "Well - " said Gonzalo again, "I do have a guest," and once more he stopped. Rubin said, "Then where the hell is he?" "Downstairs in the main dining room - ordering dinner - at my expense, of course." Gonzalo received five blank stares. Then Trumbull said, "May I ask what dunderheaded reason you can possibly advance for that?" "Aside," said Rubin, "from being a congenital dunderhead?" Gonzalo put his drink down, took a deep breath, and said, firmly, "Because I thought she would be more comfortable down there." Rubin managed to get out an "And why - " before the significance of the pronoun became plain. He seized the lapels of Gonzalo's jacket, "Did you say 'she'?" Gonzalo caught at the other's wrists. "Hands offprismacolor pencil set Manny. If you want to talk, use your lips not your hands. Yes, I said 'she.'" Henry, his sixtyish, unlined face showing a little concern, raised his voice a diplomatic notch and said, "Gentlemen! Dinner is served!" Rubin, having released Gonzalo, waved imperiously at Henry and said, "Sorry, Henry, there may be no banquet. - Mario, you damned jackass, no woman can attend these meetings." There was, in fact, aprismacolor pencil set general uproar. While no one quite achieved the anger andprismacolor pencil set decibels of Rubin,

Gonzalo found himself at bay with the five others around him in a semicircle. Their individual comments were lost in the general explosion of anger. Gonzalo, waving his arms madly, leaped onto a chair and shouted, "Let me speak!" over and over until out of exhaustion, it seemed, the opposition died off into a low growl. Gonzalo said, "She is not our guest at the banquet. She's just a woman with a problem, an old woman, and it won't do us any harm if we see her after dinner." There was no immediate response and Gonzalo said, "She needn't sit at the table. She can sit in the doorway." Rubin said, "Mario, if she comes in here, I go, and if I go, damn it, I may not come back ever." Gonzalo said, "Are you saying you'll break up the Black Widowers rather than listen to an old woman in trouble?" Rubin said, "I'm saying rules are rules!" Halsted, looking deeply troubled, said, "Listen, Manny, maybe we ought to do this. The rules weren't delivered to us from Mount Sinai." "You, too?" said Rubin, savagely. "Look, it doesn't matter what any of yoprismacolor pencil set say. In a matter as fundamental as this, one blackball is enough, and I cast it. Either she goes or I go and, by God, you'll never see me again. In view of that, is there anyone who wants to waste his breath?" Henry, who still stood at the head of the table, waiting with markedly less than his usual imperturbability for the company to seat itself, said, "May I have a word, Mr. Rubin?" Rubin said, "Sorry, Henry, no one sits down till this is settled." Gonzalo said, "Stay out, Henry. I'll fight my own battles." It was at this point that Henry departed from his role as the epitome of all Olympian waiters and advanced on the group. His voice was firm as he said, "Mr. Rubin, I wish to take responsibility for this. Several days ago, Mr. Gonzalo phoned me to ask if I would be so kind as to listen to a woman he knew who had the kind of problem he thought I might be helpful with. I asked him if it was something close to his heart. He said that the woman was a relative of someonprismacolor pencil sete who was very likely to give him a commission for an important piece of work - " "Money!" sneered Rubin. "Professional opportunity," snapped Gonzalo. "If you can understand that. And sympathy for a fellow human being, if you can understand that." Henry held up his hand. "Please, gentlemen! I told Mr. Gonzalo I could not help him prismacolor pencil setbut urged him, if he had not already arranged prismacolor pencil seta guest, to bring the woman. I suggested that there might be no objection if she did not actually attend the banquet itself." Rubin said, "And why couldn't you help her otherwise?"
