Too Many Cooks [antikvár]

FOREWORD I used as few French and miscellaneous fancy words as possible in writing up this stimt of Nero Wolfe's but I couldn't keep them out altogether, on account of the kind of people involved. I am not responsible for the spelling, so don't write me about mistakes. Wolfe refused to help me out on it, and I had to go to the Heinemann School of Languages and pay a professor 30 bucks to go over it and fix it up. In most cases, during these events, when anyone said anything which for me was only a noise, I have either let it lay—when it wasn't vital—or managed somehow to get the rough idea in the American language.
