 Fully realizing the responsibility of jury service, Phil's reaction when he first opened the letter was that of the average civic-minded citizen. I ain't gonna go! But the next day, after Alice pointed out that it's un-American to say he wasn't going to go, Phil changed his tone. How can I get out of it? However, he was unable to think of a way out, and today at two o'clock he has to appear at City Hall to see if he can qualify. Alice and the children are waiting for him to come downstairs.
