Oh, you mustn't mind him.

He's so impetuous.

You do look wonderful,

and you look just the same.

The same sweet smile,

and the same dear little eyes.

I want you to meet my niece,

Mrs. Glossop.

Mrs. Glossop.

- How do you do, Mrs. Glossop?

- How do you do?

- Glad to know you.

- Thank you. Well, yes. Sit down.

- Sit down.

- Yes, thank you.

I'm here professionally, Egbert.

This poor little thing is married,

unhappily married.

Now, isn't that criminal?

It's no crime to be married.

Just shows a weakness on the part

of men that women take advantage of.

Egbert, are you proposing to me again?

No, no, no.

Mrs. Glossop, I presume, has a problem.

Yes, I have.

There are so many things in connection

with it that I hardly know where to begin.

- Oh, well...

- Sit down, Egbert.

I'll tell him all about it.

You see, she's been married two years

and she's scarcely ever seen her husband.

In fact, she never hears from him

unless he wants some of her money.

I met him at school.

He was one of my instructors.

Yes, he's a geometrist.

Oh, a geometrist.

- No, darling, a geologist.

- Oh, a geologist.

Well, all right, a geologist.

What difference does it make?

It's all the same.

- You know, rocks and things.

- He threw them?

No, he digs them, he digs them.

Well, have you asked your husband

for a divorce?

Repeatedly, but he refuses to even

discuss it with me.

Well, you understand that

obtaining a divorce in England...

...is a very difficult thing,

unless the husband agrees to grant it.

Oh, Egbert, I didn't know you like dolls.

He always had the mother instinct.

Ladies, as your legal adviser,

I would suggest that we resort to a...

- Thingamajig.

- Flagrante delicto.

- Why? Yes, yes, of course.

- Yes, yes.

You know, I had one

at my second divorce.

Yes. Of course, Mrs. Glossop...

...the details are very simple.

- A seaside hotel and...

- Mr. Fitzgerald, I'll do anything you say.

And leave the further details

to the two of you.

I think really it would be

much better for me if you remained.

No, no, run along, dear.

I'll fix everything.

Thank you, Mr. Fitzgerald,

and I feel very comfortable in your hands.

Really? Well, Mrs. Glossop,

I'll work my brain to the bone for you.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Now, let's get right down to business.

Oh, Egbert.

I mean the hotel.

I know a very nice one

just opening at Brightbourne.

It's the hotel Bella Vista.

Oh, Bella Vista,

and so easy to remember.

I had a cook named Bella once,

or was it a masseur?

Well, anyway, I'll have my niece

drive down...

...and she'll meet you there tomorrow

at the Hotel Maryland.

No, no, no, that wasn't it, was it?

But it had something to do with
