You're a peach at thinking up schemes to get yourself out of a hole.

Of course, being new at it, you don't think quite far enough.

For instance, because you found me afoot it never occurred to you that I might know something about a car; but the rest of your plan was a dandy.
"Your idea of backing down there around the turn and burying the booze was all right.

With almost any other man it would have worked.

Once you got that hootch off your mind, I rather think you'd have been glad to have me along with you, instead of giving me broad hints to leave.
But you haven't got the booze buried yet, and you've been figuring all the evening.
