Say! (By Charles J Arnold) A humorous quip column piece

It weaves in improvised cons involving imaginary schemes, a Green castle reference, bank credit tricks, and a humorous home scene with his wife and dog Queen. The piece ends with a vignette about a reader asking to pay a bill amid cold weather chatter.
