Mystery woman?

He doesn't even know any women!

Or so you thought.

Do call for me

if you need my assistance

in any way.

Good heavens, Finis,

what should we do?

Fetch me musket.

William, do something.

The town crier

probably just had a slow news day.

You know how it is,

you need a little something to cry about.

Regardless, we are one groom short

for the wedding tomorrow.

Not to mention

the financial implications.

A most scandalous embarrassment

for us all.

Oh, give us a chance to find him,

we beg of you.

-Just give us until dawn.

-Very well. Till dawn.

Victor, darling, where are you?

if you ask me,

your boyfriend is kind of jumpy.

He's not my boyfriend,

he's my husband.

Victor, where have you gone?

l'll keep an eye out for him.

Victor?

There he goes, there he goes!

He's-- He's getting away!

Quick, quick, after him!

Victor.

Thank you.

Victor!

Where are you?

Victor?

Where have you gone?

Married, huh? l'm a widow.

Oh, how rude. He went that way!

Victor.

Victor, darling.

Please. There's been a mistake.

l'm not dead.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

-Excuse me.

-Excuse me.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Victor.

-Dead end.

-Victor!

Hello!

Could have used the stairs, silly.

lsn't the view beautiful?

lt takes my breath away.

Well, it would if l had any.

lsn't it romantic?

Look, l am terribly sorry

about what's happened to you

and l'd like to help,

but l really need to get home.

-This is your home now.

-But l don't even know your name.

Well, that's a great way

to start a marriage.

Shut up!

-lt's Emily.

-Emily.

Oh, l almost forgot.

l have something for you.

lt's a wedding present.

Thank you.

Scraps?

Scraps!

My dog, Scraps!

Oh, Scraps, what a good boy.

l knew you'd be happy to see him.

Who's my good boy?

Sit. Sit, Scraps, sit.

Good boy, Scraps.

Roll over. Roll over.

Good boy, Scraps.

Play dead.

Sorry.

Oh, what a cutie.

You should have seen him with fur.

Mother never approved

of Scraps jumping up like this.

But then again,

she never approved of anything.

Do you think

she would have approved of me?

You're lucky

you'll never have to meet her.

Well, actually

now that you mention it,

l think you should.

ln fact, since we're, you know

married,

you should definitely meet her.

And my father too. We should go

and see them right now.

What a fantastic idea!

Where are they buried?

-What? What is it?

-They're not from around here.

Where are they?

Oh, they're still alive.

-l'm afraid so.

-Well, that is a problem.

What's that, Scraps?

Oh, no, we couldn't possibly.

-Oh, well, if you put it like that.

-What?

Elder Gutknecht.

Scraps.

Elder Gutknecht

are you there?

Hello? ls anyone home?
