Brinksley Meers agreed. ?No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don?t we come more often?? Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themlves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry. ?Now you get out of here, all of you!? he shouted. ?I?m sheriff here. Do you e that
notice? It says “No Camping”—in ca you can?t read!? Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.? ?Look, sheriff,? said Rockwall, ?don?t be too hard on us. I?m ?m Brinksley ?Oh, is it?? said the sheriff with a sneer. ?Well, I Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!?
