- What's more important to me...

is that Wilma

will think I'm deliberately

sabotaging her party.

Oh, if that's

the case, perhaps we'd

better take a taxi.

That's idiotic.

No one can get

comfortable in a taxi.

- If you'd learn to drive, we

wouldn't have to ride in them.

- Driving is work.

Not as much work

as walking, perhaps,

but still work.

Walter! You came that close

to making an epigram!

You know...

Here they are,

Miss Barbara.

This one matches everything.

Doesn't match

anything.

Throw it out.

Now run outside and see

if you can find a taxi.

- Can you whistle, Agnes?

- You mean like this?

[Whistling]

Don't ever

do that, Agnes.

Well, I'm sorry...

Will you please

get that cab!

Get my coat, please.

In the future, I hope someone

will have enough sense to keep

at least one chauffeur around.

- [Walter] Ditto.

- [Mother] It's all

Mother's fault, I know...

Here they are!

Hello...

Where have you been?

I'm sorry

we're so late.

We had a flat tire.

On an $8,000 automobile?

Impossible!

- [Walter]

We almost had to take a taxi.

- I'm very sorry, Mr. Walter.

- Tell me about the flat

in the morning, Terry.

- But I thought...

When you're going touring again,

be sure there's somebody here

to drive for us.

Mrs. Clinton,

your flowers!

What's the matter with my...

Connie!

Hello.

Oh, my baby!

I'm so glad to see you!

Barbara, you haven't

said a word to Connie.

Happy you managed to get here.

- Walter, what have you

to say to your cousin?

- Hi.

- [Connie] Hello.

- [Barbara] We have to run.

I'll start your horoscope

first thing in the morning.

Do you

still sing?

Yes, I do.

[Muttering]

George, the minute

Mr. Clinton comes in...

By the time we get

there, there won't be

a photographer left!

Good-bye, Connie.

Good-bye, good-bye,

good-bye!

I'll show you

to your room, miss.

Please come this way.

What time do you think

UncleJim will be home?

You mean Mr. Clinton, miss?

Yes.

The goings

and comings of this family

are none of my affair.

Though I might say

if they're out,

Mr. Clinton usually is here.

If they're here,

Mr. Clinton usually is out.

This way, miss.

Here's your room, miss.

Shall I put

the window down, miss?

Hmm?

I said shall I

put the window down?

No, thank you.

It's all right.

May I help you unpack, miss?

I think I can do it

myself, thank you.

Will there be anything else?

No, thank you.

Very well, miss.

There'll be a light supper

served in the dining room

as soon as you are ready.

- No, thank you.

- But surely you'll

want something.

I don't feel like eating.

Very well, miss.

Pardon me, miss.

Is supper all ready?

You certainly do things
