Love Crazy Page #2

That will do, boys.

Best love from mother-in-law!

Oh, Mother! Well... Well, that was...

That was very nice.

- Four years ago today. Isn't it wonderful?

- Yes, isn't it?

Steve, you look funny. Are you all right?

Oh, yes, fine.

That is, except for my headache.

I've had a terrible headache.

I was thinking of sitting in the dark

for a while.

Oh. How's my little girl feeling?

Is she all right?

Oh, yes, she's fine, fine.

Steve, you don't seem very glad

to see me.

You haven't even asked me in.

Oh, well,

I wonder what I could mean by that?

Oh, there you are!

Happy anniversary, darling!

Oh, Mother, how are you?

Here, wait until you see this too,

too divine rug that I've brought you.

My dear, isn't it just too matchless?

Don't you wonder

how you ever managed without it?

Oh, it's lovely, Mother,

but I thought you knew

that we had to take up the rug

you gave us last year

because the floor

is just too highly polished.

Oh, I remember very well,

but the dimensions of this rug

are absolutely perfect.

Where's Martha? Martha!

Martha, would you fix me a little dinner?

Nothing heavy, just a bite.

You don't mind, do you, darling?

I know you're not dining till midnight,

so I won't be in your way.

- But, Mother, we're...

- They ain't dining at midnight, ma'am.

They're eating at the regular time.

Oh, how nice. Then we can all have

your anniversary dinner together.

Now, you two don't pay any attention

to me.

- You just go ahead as if I weren't here.

- Go ahead and what?

Oh, I must keep an eye on the time.

Your Aunt Laura is coming

in from California at 8:00.

8:
00 railroad time?

You know, that's 7:00 our time,

in case you're planning to meet her.

Yes. You mustn't be late at the station.

You know how she hates

- to be kept waiting.

- Yes.

You two are sweet

to worry about Aunt Laura,

but I've checked the time

and there's no hurry.

- I completely forgot!

- What?

Nothing you have to dash out

and attend to, I hope.

You can mail it for me.

It's my insurance premium.

It must be mailed tonight

or my policy lapses.

- I'll give it to the elevator boy.

- Oh, no, don't you dare!

It has a check in it.

I hate to trouble you, but...

Oh, no trouble at all.

Why, what else would I have to do?

Thank you, Stephen.

You won't lose it, will you, dear?

No, no, no. I'll tie it around my neck.

Stephen, you're so amusing.

Always clowning!

Look at him!

- Thanks for the rug.

- Oh, you're welcome.

Good evening, Mrs. Grayson.

Good evening.

Hello, sugar.

Isobel!

Oh, Stevie, darling!

I haven't seen you since you were married.

No. Well, four years to a day.

Don't tell me

you're not back in circulation yet.

No, not me. I'm stuck for life, and I like it.
