nine hours?? (lol)

 Ann's enthusiasm for Donald's novel, and his writing talent, is recharged now, & she says to him, "We're going back to Brewster!"

        She wants to find Mr. T. L. Harrison, the publisher, and present him with Don's manuscript.

They go back up to Brewster, and learn from a phone call that Mr. Harrison is dining at Ann's father's restaurant.

        So they go to the restaurant to speak to him.

Mr. Marie greets them as they enter.

Donald:

Good evening, Mr. Marie.

Lew Marie:

Good evening.  Do you have a reservation?

Don:

No, I'm afraid we don't.

Mr. Marie:

I'm sorry.  Without a reservation, it'll be a nine-hour wait.
