Her Highness and the Bellboy Page #7

---

Oh, well, hello.

Thanks for popping in,

and now you better pop out,

or you'll be late

for your Princess.

Well, go on.

Yeah, I'm-I'm-

I'm going.

Aw, they-they sent

the wrong hat.

It's too large.

Well, give it to me.

I'll fix it.

Oh, would you?

Uh-huh. Hand me

those beards.

You know, Jimmy,

I thought I'd make

some superdeluxe Santa clauses

with real clothes on.

That is, if you think

it's a good idea.

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's a very good idea.

Then we'll make

lots of them, shall we?

Well-

oh, I know you can't

help me with them

till after she goes.

Here.

Oh, that-

that's just right.

Thanks, Leslie.

Jimmy, when is she going away?

Quite soon, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

Quite soon.

Good night, Leslie.

Good night, Jimmy.

Leslie, I'm-

I'm such a dope.

I got that for you,

and I almost forgot

to give it to you.

Good night, Leslie.

I said now, wait

till the sun shines, Nellie

when the clouds

all go a-driftin' by

we will be so happy, Nellie

oh, don't you let

me hear you make a sigh

how dare you

sigh, I believe that

down lovers' Lane we'll wander

sweetheart, you and I

wait, wait, wait,

now, don't be late

down by the garden gate

in the sweet

by-and-by

a boodle-ah,

a boodle-ah doo day

driftin' by

a boodle-ah,

a boodle-ah doo day

oh, baby, let me hear you sigh

oh...

Isn't that pitiful?

Down lovers' Lane we'll wander

sweetheart, you and I

oh, well

I want to hear that wedding bell

in the sweet

by-and-by

bum, bum, bum, bum

wait

till the sun shines, Nellie

when the clouds go driftin' by

oh, we will be so happy, Nellie

oh, honey, I'm in love with you

and I love you, too, let's meander

down lovers' Lane we'll wander

sweetheart, you and I

and after a while,

we'll live in style

and buy a bungalow

but let's be wise, economize

we'll use your father's dough

in the sweet

in the sweet, sweet

in the sweet, sweet by

in the sweet, sweet

by-and-by

uh, look, what do you

say? Shall we blow?

Blow?

Blow what?

Blow out of here.

Oh, so soon? Why?

Oh, it's...

It's so unromantic.

Yoo-hoo!

Peekaboo!

Ha ha ha!

See what I mean?

Yes.

Oh, but let's stay anyway.

I'd like to.

Oh, then I'd like to.

I never thought I'd ever

be anywhere with a Princess,

especially you,

and I certainly never

thought that a Princess-

what's it going to be, folks?

Pigs' feet

are very good tonight.

Have you got any champagne?

Champagne? Sure.

Barrels of it.

Barrels of it.

Is it good?

The best.

We make it ourselves.

Would you care for some?

Uh, yes.

Oh, and some pigs' feet,

too, huh?

No, thank you.

Uh, waiter, just champagne.

Ok, sport.

Well, as I was saying,

here we are.

I- I still can't

believe it yet.

Maybe I will a little bit later.

Believe what, Jimmy?

That what's happened

has happened.

I mean, after all,

a person like you

and a person like me-

it just can't be, can it?

But-but it is,

isn't it?

I'm afraid I

I don't quite understand.

Your highness...

Princess Veronica...

There's something I've

wanted to say for a long time.

Now, uh, what about

the pigs' feet?

They're nice and tasty.

No!

Ok. Maybe a little

later on, huh?

To the happiness of a Princess

and a nobody.

So you know?

Everything.

What do you think I should do?

What you want to.

Never mind what anybody

else says. It's your heart.

What do you care

if they-if they call-

if they call a man a nobody,

even if he is one for

the time being anyway?

He can outgrow it, can't he?

Lots of men started out as nobodies.

Why, look at Lincoln.

Look at Napoleon.

Where?

I- oh!

It was you!

Ha ha ha!

Oh, Jimmy,

you said Mr. MacMillan is usually here.

Yes.

Well, I don't see him.

Uh, you won't out here.

He stays in the bar.

Oh.

See if he's there, will you?

Yes, your high-

now?

Yeah, but, uh...

All right, gentlemen.

Make yourselves comfortable.

Pigs' feet's very good tonight,

by the way.

He isn't here.

Oh.

Will he be here later?

Maybe.

Uh, shall we go now?

Oh, no. Not yet.

Well, it doesn't

get any nicer here.

Oh, well, even so,

let's stay a little longer.

Very well.

Shall we dance?

Uh, excuse me.

I thought I told you

not to run with these rats.

Well, if it ain't Jimmy.

Mercy, mercy.

Like the monkey suit.

Albert, go home right away, will you?

No.

For me?

He's with me now.

Ain't you, al?

Yeah.

I'm with you now,

for keeps.

Albert, w-will you please do as I say?

Not no more.

Now he does what I say.

Don't you?

Yeah. What you say.

Then I say get up.

Sock this monkey.

Huh?

Sock him.

Him?

Yeah, him.

Now?

Now.

Go ahead and give it to him.

Go ahead, Albert.

You're with him now, for keeps.

Yeah.

Right here, and hard.

Ok, hack.

Hey, you lunkhead,

get out of my pigs' feet!

Gee, I missed.

Hey, who do you think you're pushing?

Hey, cut it out, you guys!

Run! Beat it!

Let me go!

Good evening.

Nice fight, isn't it?

Pardon me.

Oh, Albert, you're terrific!

Ain't I?

Thanks, Mabel.

Thank you, your highness.

Break it up!

Let go of me, you big lug!

Officer, let her go at once.

Let her go, I say!

Oh, you do?

I command you.

You command?

Who do you think you are, the sergeant?

Let go, I say!

Let go of her!

You let go of her!

Oh!

Thanks, dear. Come on.

Let's scram!

Oh! Let me go!

Let me go, you big lug!

Do you need any help?

Let me go! Jimmy!

Jimmy!

Your highness!

I saw you do that!

Stop it! Jimmy!

Oh, let me go, you big brutes!

Lugs!

Wait a minute. I know

you from somewhere.

I've seen your face before. Where?

Rogues' gallery?

Perhaps. What's

your name?

Don't tell him, dearie.

Let him guess.

Well? Well?

Mabel green.

What's your racket? What do you do?

Me? I, uh, I'm a Singapore.

I Baghdad in a Bombay.

I Calcutta the Moscow

in Dublin to Hong Kong.

Oh, a wise guy.

Take her away.

Hello, Mr. MacMillan.

Oh, hello, captain.

Did you just get here?

Yep.

Too bad.

The fight's all over.

I've seen a fight.

Well, this one

was better than usual.

Anything special about it?

No. I've seen

bigger ones in there

and worse ones.

Then there's no

column in it for me.

Jimmy. Jimmy!

Jimmy...

Something must have

happened here.

Where is she?

Where's her highness?

She must have left.

The cops!

They got her in jail!

Albert, I'm ruined.

What am I going to do?

Well, go and tell her folks.

They'll spring her.

They'll get a heebius corpius.

Yeah. Yeah. That's what

I got to do, I guess.

I got to go and tell them.

You know something, Jimmy?

What?

They're going to resent this.

Haven't you any idea where she went?

I only know with whom she went.

And on this night,

of all nights.

Now, where would a fellow like this-

chimney.

This chimney be apt to take her?

To a chop-suey parlor,

I daresay.

We could look for her

in those places.

No! We might

find her!

Well, a fine thing for our

country that would be, eh?

Think! Think of what

history would say-

her majesty Veronica I

received the news

that she had become queen

whilst she was carousing
