I don't think I could get along

without the silly old magazine.

It's in my blood.

I love it the way all my people did.

Carrying it on for them is,

is like some sort of a trust.

You don't really mind, do you?

Not if it makes you happy.

You make me happy.

You never interfere.

Freedom is the only basis

or a successful marriage.

I know how I'd feel if you made

me stop the things I like.

I've got to get back.

Busy working wife goes back to sweatshop

while husband loafs in Speak-easy.

Silly. Why shouldn't you

loaf if you want to?

Bye, sweet.

Bye.

Waiter.

Yes, sir?

I'm expecting a phone-call.

When it comes I'll take

it in a private room.

I understand, sir.

You'd better drop me here, Ruth.

Don't be silly, darling.

Well I won't have you making an

express wagon out of your car.

I'm not proud.

But you can't be dropping delivery

boys and rowing machines ..

In front of offices. It's ridiculous.

Oh, it's different when you're the boy.

Besides, I'll wait for you.

I may be demonstrating

this thing for hours.

To a woman.

Ruth, it's business.

I don't see why we're engaged.

We'd better have a talk about that.

About our engagement?

Yeah.

You don't love me.

Don't be silly .. here we are.

I thought you were different at dinner.

Listen, kid. It isn't fair

to you to be engaged.

Why not?

Well, that night we were all

swanked up and I talked you into it.

Who am I to be engaged to any woman?

Do you know something?

You were just fooling, but it's true.

If you hadn't been swanked that

night, we wouldn't be engaged.

I knew you had brains.

I knew you'd see it that way.

Why, of course I do.

Seeing you swanked was what

made me fall in love with you.

The swell way you carried your liquor.

Any boy that can get away with

what you did so politely, well ..

I want him for life.

Oh.

Is your mind at rest now?

Perfectly.

There is certainly nothing

to be gained by using it.

Goodnight, sweet.

Come in.

Well?

I'm from French & Sprague

with the rowing machine.

There's no reason why you can't deposit

that thing on the ground and sit down.

Thanks.

Well, I guess I'd better be

opening up the machine.

That's quite an idea.

Are you pretty strong

in the back muscles?

I have made no effort to arouse

your interest in my back muscles.

Oh, I just wanted to adjust

the machine for you, madam.

Okay, Harper.

I think we'll hold this

for further consideration.

Now let's get on with the letters.

Mrs Ames.

Here is the man with

the rowing contraption.

Oh.

I'll be with you in a moment.

You don't mind waiting, I hope?

No. Not a bit.

What next, Harper?

Cross and Eastman.

Oh yes.

Yes. The serial rights.

Oh .. thank you.
