OK, Sundance! I wander into obscurity:

"Honest to God, you sound just like my kid. Him and his Buck Rogers' disintegrators and his comic books. Honest to God, it's a crime what they give the younger generation to read. Ruin their minds with it. Killing. Corpses. Ah!"

It's a fair cop!

Sometimes I confuse Mr T with the milkman.

Mea culpa.

Nobody ever has with them the required wide-angle lens.

zzzzzzzz...

"Honest to God, you sound just like my kid. Him and his Buck Rogers' disintegrators and his comic books. Honest to God, it's a crime what they give the younger generation to read. Ruin their minds with it. Killing. Corpses. Ah!"

OK! Maybe a bit of a stretch. Another clue before a follow-up passage:

A cocktail party downstairs!

Ya got me on this one, pard.
There are several stories with something going on 'downstairs', but the only one that comes to mind with a 'cocktail party' is "The Homecoming" and that quote isn't from that, I'm sure...
I May have to pull a few books down off the shelf and search - unless it's from one of those new-fangled collections that I can't afford!

Old-Fangled, actually one of his earliest - 1944. Collected in a 1984. A good detective like you may dust off the right title.
More later...

Attic or cellar?
"Dusting off" and "attic" brings to mind "A Scent of Sarsaparilla"; "terrifying attic discovery" reminds me of "Zero Hour".
Maybe I'll find time this weekend to research...

Well, I was busier than a tail-gater's brake pedal this weekend (a little commuter humour there) and so did not do the above-mentioned research...

Am I gettin' warm, Butch?

OK, Pard!! I'll unwrap the package just a bit more. Shake away:
