Part 3: When he came out into the street again, with the overshoes in a box under his arm Walter Mitty began to wonder what the other thing was his wife had told him to get. She had told him, twice, before they set out from their house for Waterbury. In a way he hated these weekly trips to townâhe was always getting something wrong. Kleenex, he thought, Squibbâs, razor blades? No. Toothpaste, toothbrush, bicarbonate, carborundum, initiative and referendum? He gave it up. But she would remember it.âWhereâs the whatâs-its-name?âshe would ask.âDonât tell me you forgot the whatâs-its-name.â A newsboy went by shouting something about the Waterbury trial.. . .âPerhaps this will refresh your memory.âThe District Attorney suddenly thrust a heavy automatic at the quiet figure on the witness stand.âHave you ever seen this before?âWalter Mitty took the gun and examined it expertly.âThis is my Webley- Vickers 50.80,â he said calmly. An excited buzz ran around the courtroom. The Judge rapped for order.âYou are a crack shot with any sort of firearms, I believe?âsaid the District Attorney, insinuatingly . âObjection!â shouted Mittyâs attorney.âWe have shown that the defendant could not have fired the shot. We have shown that he wore his right arm in a sling on the night of the fourteenth of July.âWalter Mitty raised his hand briefly and the bickering attorneys were stilled.âWith any known make of gun,â he said evenly, âI could have killed Gregory Fitzhurst at three hundred feet with my left hand.â Pandemonium broke loose in the courtroom. A womanâs scream rose above the bedlam and suddenly a lovely, dark-haired girl was in Walter Mittyâs arms. The District Attorney struck at her savagely. Without rising from his chair, Mitty let the man have it on the point of the chin.âYou miserable cur!â. . . âPuppy biscuit,âsaid Walter Mitty. He stopped walking and the buildings of Waterbury rose up out of the misty courtroom and surrounded him again. A woman who was passing laughed.âHe said âPuppy biscuit,ââshe said to her companion. âThat man saidâPuppy biscuitâ to himself.â
