MRS. MIIRGilTRQYD'S It could be your dime too ! Can you read this without resolving that next time it will be? I'M nobody you'd remember. You've seen me and them like me all over the place, but never noticed us particularly, I bet. I'm a dime. But no ordinary dime — see? Most dimes don't rate much respect around.
