Oh. Of course.

Just love cables.

Well, if it's for me, I'd like to know

what's in it. You'll be crazy about it, dear.

"Can't believe stuff about Scott.

Intend to make good at job anyway.

"Absurd to come back now.

Take care of yourself.

Love, Bill. "

That's about the most

ardent cable I ever saw.

He must be simply crazy about you.

What did you expect him to do? Jump off

the boat and swim back? Oh, no, dear.

I thought that's what

you expected.

I think his going to Australia

is the nicest thing he ever did.

It isn't Australia. It's Japan. What's the

difference? He's gone. That's what I like about him.

I suppose you like Scott Miller for sending

him away too. I've always liked Scott.

Might a mother ask where you're going? I'm going down

to the beauty parlor to have something done to this eye.

Charles will fix it.

Charles is wonderful.

And, darling, don't you brood over Bill's cable. Even

if he is cooling off, there are other fish in the sea.

Well, one of them is not Scott Miller.

Bonjour, mademoiselle.

Hello, Charles.

And how is Miss Colby today?

Look at this.

Mademoiselle!

Where'd you get this blue eye?

I got the blue one from my mother's side of the family. The

black one is a present from a gentleman who's crazy about me.

Ah. C'est I'amour.

Mmm.

What can you do about it?

We fix it perfect.

Oh, good.

If Mademoiselle will sit, please.

Yeah.

Oh. First of all, we

put on the cold towel.

Some astringent maybe.

Mmm.

Then some raw beef.

Just a small piece.

Put the whole cow on if it'll

help any. Yes, mademoiselle.

Now, if you will kindly

close your eyes.

Too cold?

Uh, it's all right. Now, be sure you keep

your eyes closed. I'll come right away back.

Okay.

Hey, Charles!

I'm getting a little bored with this.

Come on with the meat course.

Tout de suite, mademoiselle.

Well, come on now.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

I'm the butcher boy.

How did you get in?

The magic power of gold. Oh! Did your

company take over this beauty parlor too?

No, no. Just a temporary deal

with Charles.

How do I look?

Like a street cleaner.

Come, come, come now.

You can't win me with flattery.

You get out of here, or I'll

call a policeman. Go ahead.

I'll buy up the police force too.

Honestly, don't you like me better

than you did last night? Why should I?

Oh, I know I'm not

handsome, but I'm cute. Oh.

And I'll always be by your side.

Charles.

Don't strain your vocal cords.

Charles! Charles stepped

out for a minute, Miss Colby.

And he won't be back

till I call him.

I wish you wouldn't go.

I wanted to take you to the dog show.

They're showing the cutest

little animals you ever saw.
