help Madam Queen, Mr. Brown. I suppose you realize that your action has caused Madam Queen grave illness and untold agony, and has wrecked her complete life." M. Smith paused impressively. Andy made a move as if to start for the door, but Amos laid a restraining hand on his knee. The lawyer raised a forefinger, cocked it like a revolver, and aimed it at Andy. "Brown, the law fortunately protects that little girl from action such as men like you take, and as her attorney we intend to take such legal steps that will, in some way, pay her for the grief, sadness, illness and unhappiness she is now going through and will continue to go through for some time ... I advise you to have your lawyer git in touch with us immediately. Gentlemen, good day." It was a trembling Andy and a thoughtful Amos that walked silently back to the office. There they found the Kingfish. He'd forgiven Andy for ruining his party, and he listened sympathetically to the tale of their encounter with Lawyer Smith. "Boys," he said at last, "somebody once tol' me o' de bigges' lawyer in Harlem, a man whut kin git anything an' never lost a case. Dat's de man you need." Amos and Andy both twitched with hope and pleasure. For the first time, the ominous spectre of M. Smith lost some of its grim terror. There was something magical about those words, "never lost a case." "Who is he, Kingfish?" asked Amos. "Fo' de moment," the Kingfish said thoughtfully, "I jes' fergit. Name's on de tip o' my tongue. Jes' you wait a minute. I'll call de Battle Axe." HE picked up the telephone. "Dis de Kingfish, honey. Lissen, dear, whut's de name o' dat big-time lawyer Pop Johnson tol' us about, de man whut neveh lost a case? . . . Whut? . . . Oh — uh huh, 'membeh now. Dat's right. Thanks, honey." He hung up and for a moment seemed lost in thought. "Well, whut's his name?" Amos demanded impatiently. "Uh — his name's M. Smith," the Kingfish said glumly. But it was the Kingfish himself who eventually found Andy a lawyer. This individual, whose name was Snoop, was a loose-limbed and lanky person with brass rimmed spectacles and a huge official looking volume clutched under one arm. Andy, spelling out its title, was vastly impressed to find that it was "S-t-a-n-d-a-r-d D-i-ct-i-o-n-a-r-y." Lawyer Snoop's pockets were jammed with pencils and battered* fountain pens and bits of memorandum paper— all giving an impression of vast unfinished projects in which he was embroiled. Even Amos seemed awed. "Gemmen," announced Lawyer Snoop, "I also runs a detective agency which will be a great he'p to you in dis case. Dat's why my name is Snoop. When anybody thinks of a detective, they think of snoop, don't dey?" "Dat is smart," murmured Andy in admiration. Lawyer Snoop looked pleased. "Gemmen, I intends to git to work at once. I shall repo't here fo' further discussion in de mornin'. Good day." Amos and Andy felt better after Lawyer Snoop's encouraging visit. But their good spirits were shortlived.
