 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 2 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.
