Here. Try a little of this.

There's nothing like champagne.

Bottom's up!

Who did you say lived here?

My Grandmother.

Your Grandmother, huh?

Oh, she's a great old gal. You'll love

her when you get acquainted with her.

Oh Jimmy. I want to see you a moment.

Don't go away. I'll be right back.

What is it? What do you want?

Now listen. I told you before, I will

not have you bringing strangers here.

Especially dames. They talk too much.

Ah, she doesn't know what time it is.

But if you're worried, I won't take

her in the gambling room.

We'll have a couple of drinks and

then we'll blow.

It's the cops!

It's a raid! You'd better get out

of here quickly.

Two men upstairs! Five men in that room!

Come on out of there, sister.

No. You can't arrest me.

I haven't done anything.

Come on, let's get going.

No, no. Let me go!

Come on now, get out of here.

Hello?

Mr. Wroxton?

Oh, Mr. Wroxton, something

terrible has happened to me.

An accident?

No. No, I'm not hurt.

I went dancing, and, well,

there was a terrible mix-up.

It wasn't my fault, but I've been arrested.

I lost all my money, so I can't pay my fine.

They're going to put me in jail.

Oh...

Well?

What do you expect me to do about it?

Well I, I didn't know who else to go to.

I thought maybe you'd help me.

I see.

Alright. I'll be along in an hour.

You know I still can't believe it happened.

To think that a perfectly harmless

evening could turn out like that.

You do believe me, don't you?

Of course, my dear.

But you must admit that being

arrested is a very serious matter.

If you were found out, you would never

get another job you know.

I don't know how to thank you

for helping me out.

I've tried to make it clear to you Ellen,

that I have your interests at heart.

Oh, by the way, my dear.

I suppose you know the family are

leaving for Maine the day after tomorrow.

They're going up to their

camp for the summer.

Of course, none of the staff goes with them.

Maids and footmen will be laid off

until September.

However... I'm keeping you on.

Thank you.

It will be very pleasant, without so

many people around.

Gracie! Gracie, I've got the most

wonderful news for you.

Don't tell me! Wroxton's got smallpox!

No. But it's Wroxton I'm looking for.

Come on.

Mr. Wroxton.

Yes?

We're leaving Gracie and I. Right away.

Leaving?

But I told you, you were staying

here for the summer.

Oh no. We're going to Maine with the family.

Going to Maine? I gave no such orders.

I've just talked with Mrs. Winfield

and she asked me tell you.

Isn't it wonderful?

Oh yes. Quite wonderful, I'm sure.

I knew you'd think so. Come on Gracie.

Oh goodbye.

What are you doing? Oh yes. That's enough.
