Talk You Up

[Gerald Walton]

Yesterday, while it was raining hard, I told people at an automobile
parts store I would return this morning for a battery. When I got to
the place today, a young woman said, "Well, we talked you up." I
asked the meaning, and she said, "Well, about fifteen minutes John
asked me whether that man had returned, and now here you are."
