He decided he wanted to come over

here this afternoon, so here we are.

Sit down. Oh, thank you. You've been away.

For 90 days. Been doin' a job for

the state. Makin' license plates.

Oh, is that so?

Interesting work?

I can take it or leave it alone. Oh, I see.

I did a job for 'em last year

too. Helpin' 'em build a road.

Oh. Well, Mr. Meegles, we'll just

have to do something about your return.

Would you like to come to

my house for dinner tonight?

Oh, thanks, Mr. Dowd,

but I couldn't make it tonight.

Ah, tomorrow night?

Would that suit you?

Yes, yes! But you know,

the last time I was there...

I kinda got the impression your sister held

it against me because I did a little time.

Oh, no. My sister loves to

entertain. She's very social.

Yes, I see by the papers. You know

I never miss the society column.

You don't? No. She's giving

a clambake this afternoon.

This afternoon?

Yeah.

"Reception, program and tea,"

it says here,

"for the members of the Wednesday Afternoon

Forum," for that rich Mrs. "Shuvanut."

Cheva... Yes,

that's Aunt Ethel.

Is this today's paper?

Veta didn't tell me anything about

this. Must've slipped her mind.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow

night at 7:
00, Mr. Meegles, huh?

Thanks, Mr. Dowd. Very glad

to have seen you. Good-bye.

Harvey,

I just found out...

Now, what can I do for you?

What did you have in mind?

What's your order?

Two martinis.

Two martinis.

Harvey, it seems that Veta is

having a party this afternoon.

And l...

Hmm? Oh, you knew?

Well, I just thought she might

be offended if we weren't there.

After all, she's the only sister

I have and l... How's that?

And the only one I'm ever likely to

have. Yes, you're absolutely right.

We'd better hurry, huh?

That'll be

four bits.

The one at the end will pay

for it. Oh, he'd be delighted.

He'd be delighted.

Well...

let's drink up.

My love

Will take me flying

to the sky

On a steed

with golden wings

And then

we'll ride away

Forever high

on the moon

On a star

on a cloud

In his arms

I will stay

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh

Ahh

Hop, hop, hop, hop hippity

hop on a golden steed

Hop, hop, hop, hop hippity

hop Love is all I need

Ahh-ah, ahh-ah

Hop, hop, hop, hop hippity

hop on a golden steed

Hop, hop, hop, hop hippity

hop Love is all I need

Mother.

Shh-shh.

Mrs. Chauvenet is here.

Mrs. Chauvenet is here? Oh.

Aunt Ethel! Veta Louise

Simmons, I thought you were dead.

Oh, no! I'm very much alive, thank you.

And this is my daughter

Myrtle Mae.

My dear, you're your grandmother

all over again. I was at her funeral.

And now, where is Elwood?

Elwood couldn't be home.

That's Miss Tewksbury singing.

She'll be through in a minute.
