Henry Drake and his partner Philip Putnam had started their factory five years ago and had build it into a smooth running, highly profitable organization. But now, the added demands of war have more than tripled the production and the worries as well. Phil was responsible for the financial side of the company and Henry had the expertise to make the day to day decisions. However, lately, something has been happening to Henry. He is beginning to slip. His memory is playing tricks on him. On one particular morning as Henry walked into his office, his secretary, Ethel, says "Good morning, Mr. Drake". Henry says "Oh, morning, Ethel". She says "Mr. Putnam wants to know if you studied those contracts last night". Henry says "Contracts? What contracts?" Ethel says "Why, the ones he gave you last night. You'd said you'd take them home. They must be signed by noon, today". Henry says "Contracts? Why, I don't know what you're talking about. When did Phil give me any contracts?" Ethel says "What? Just before you left last evening". Henry says "Well, that's funny". Ethel asks "Don't you remember?" Henry says "What? Remember? Well, yes. Yes, I do remember now. Yes. Yes, of course". Ethel asks "Well, may I have them?" Henry says "Well, let me see. What on earth did I do with them? Tell Mr. Putnam to step in here, please". Ethel says "Yes, Mr. Drake". She calls him, and a few moments later he steps into Henry's office. Phil says "Good morning, Henry. What's up?" Henry says "It's about those contracts you gave me yesterday evening. Just what were they about?" Phil says "What? Haven't you read them?" Henry says "No, I haven't". Phil says "Good heavens, man. They were supposed to be signed by noon today, and it's 10:00 AM. Where are they?" Henry says "I don't know, Phil. I can't find them. I'm sure I didn't take them home". Phil asks "Well, what did you do after you left here? Where'd you go?" Henry says "Well, I went home. That is, I think I did".
