Oh. Thank you madam.

Hello Frederick.

Glad to see you, sir.

Welcome home Mr. Richard.

How are you Wroxton?

Very well, thank you, sir.

You're looking very fit, sir.

If I were any fitter, they'd have to put

me in a straight-jacket.

Hello Gracie. How are you?

Hello Mr. Richard. It's good to

see you home again.

Thank you. Where's mother?

She's upstairs.

Okay. Come on, boy.

Say, Gracie. Who's that?

That's Winfield Junior. He lives here.

Not a bad idea, eh?

Go on, clean your bird cages.

Maggie!

Oh, darling!

The world's most attractive woman.

Well you're not so repulsive yourself.

Now, tell me. Did you pass your exams?

All of them.

Oh, I really worked this year.

Look at these Grey hairs.

Yes, I see them.

Hamlet! Hello Hamlet!

Remind me to order a dozen prime

steaks for your luncheon.

Hey, speaking of food, you're going to

have a hundred guests for supper tonight.

Oh Dickie, why didn't you let me know?

I didn't know myself until this morning.

I sent a telegram to everyone in Greater

Manhattan including Brooklyn and the Bronx.

Yes, you would. Alright, I'll phone the

caterer. What shall it be?

Champagne cup, and cold supper?

No.. a cold supper and a hot orchestra!

Alright darling. Anything you say.

Well, where are you going?

Oh, I have an errand to do for

Mrs. Winfield. Have you seen her?

Yes, she's in the living room.

Thanks Chris.

Okay.

Hello there.

Oh, good evening.

What are you wandering around out here

for? The party's in there.

Well, excuse me.

Oh I know. It doesn't matter if you're

not dressed. Half of them aren't anyway.

Come on. We're wasting time.

Oh, I can't go in there.

Alright, it's too crowded anyway.

We'll dance out here.

Oh but really, I..

Thank you for the dance.

Well, it was fun while it lasted, wasn't it?

You know..

.. this may sound silly, but,

I don't know who you are.

Not that it really makes any difference.

Doesn't it?

No. Not all.

I discovered you myself. That's the

smartest thing I've done this evening.

Thank you.

But, just as a matter of statistics,

you know. Who are you?

Who am I?

You really want to know?

Uhuh.

I'm your mother's maid.

Excuse me, please.

I beg your pardon, sir.

Beg your pardon, sir!

Your guests are going into supper.

Oh yes. Thank you Wroxton.

Ahem.

Yes, what is it? Oh, your wages.

Yes, sir.

There you are.

I want to ask you a favor, sir.

What?

I'm in trouble sir, and I uh..

Well, I..

I was wondering if you would let me pay

you five dollars this month instead of ten.

For what reason?

My wife's in the hospital. They are going

to operate on her Saturday.

And I need every cent I can get.

I'm sorry Graham, you know the rules.

Hello.
