orly. We ought to be very happy when we get married, for Wilbur will be out ahead of a show all season and I will be here in New York. What more would a happy bridal couple desire? "Well, I must toddle along, as the hour is late and my automobile is getting impatient. "Be good, and don't forget that you promised on your word and honor to take six tickets for the Friar Festival from me.
