muzzle her, but I couldn't.

So this is the way you work!

I always suspected it. Well, you've

humiliated me for the last time.

Do you mind telling me who you are?

You bet I'll tell you. Plenty.

I happen to be the girl

that he's engaged to.

Ruth, do you think you'd better go home?

I'll go when I'm good and ready.

I kept telling her not to do this.

But she always looked the other way.

I apologise.

I should have phoned you

but, we were so busy that ..

I can imagine how busy you were,

lounging around here with this ..

I'm afraid it's all my fault.

You bet it's your fault.

You're in with love him. Ruth.

You're in love with him!

That's why you keep him locked up

with you here night after night.

I tried to keep her away,

believe it or not.

It's a fine thing for a woman to do.

Ruth.

If she thinks she'll get away with

this, she's got another think coming.

What are you going to do? Shoot me?

I wish I could. But I'll get even with

you just the same. See if I don't.

Really? How?

You won't be so infernally calm after I

go to your husband and say all I know.

Tell him how you're carrying on with

a man I'm practically married to.

So you are going to tell my husband?

Try and stop me!

Well, you may have trouble catching him.

He's on his way to Paris for a divorce.

Well ..?

Well ..?

Anyhow, I'll .. I'll ..

I'll ..

I would, too.

Get her out of here. Shoot her.

Break her leg. Anything.

Why me? I didn't bring her in here.

I hate you! I loathe you!

Everybody always said I'd be throwing

my life away if I married you.

Here.

Here .. give this to your .. your boss!

Do you know my dear, if I weren't a lady

I'd tell you what I really think of you.

Gee Lois, I'm sorry.

You couldn't help it, Tommy.

Well I guess I'll be trotting along now.

These scenes are always

a big strain on me.

I'm awfully glad to have met

you and I hope we didn't intrude.

Oh, no. Not at all.

Thanks.

You're Tommy's best friend, aren't you?

Sure.

I'll humiliate him. I'll make him

feel as cheap as he made me feel.

I'll get revenge.

How?

Oh, it's a marvellous idea.

I'll marry you.

Huh?

No, no, no. No, I couldn't do that.

You see, I promised my poor old mother.

That I wouldn't get

married until I was 65.

Oh, I could make you happy.

Oh, I don't doubt that. You see ..

My family is against marriage.

What?

Oh sure. It's an old custom of ours.

There hasn't been a marriage in

my family for three generations.

Come on.

Huh?

Are you laughing at me?

Hmm. Why?

Why didn't you tell me your

fiance was like that?

Why didn't you tell me you

weren't going to stay married?

Still going into business?

No. Think I'll freelance.

Looks like I'm going to freelance, too.

Let's freelance together.

Just a moment.

Will you take a letter, please?

Of course.

My dear Mister Sherman.

In regrd to our recent conversation.

I regret that I did ot inform

you of my impending divorce.

However ..

I promise it will never happen again.

Yours forever.

Lois.
