and wishes to see you.

- Is he really all right?

- He's perfectly fine.

Oh!

Madam?

Why, Wilkins!

Mmm.

See? Since I quit drinking,

no more jitters.

Well, I wish you'd sit down.

You give me the jitters.

What in the world are you

trying to do anyway? Shh!

Quiet. I'm practicing

to be an angel.

Some angel you'll make.

Hmm!

Nice retorting.

Well, I'm still your little

angel, aren't I, honey?

Oh, stop it.

Well, aren't I?

Of course you are.

But don't say "Aren't I."

Okay, pet.

Ain't I?

Say, I do hope Mrs. Topper

doesn't gum up our good deed.

Well, we'll know

in a minute.

Oh, darling. I was so afraid

I was going to lose you.

Oh, you can't lose a bad

penny like me, you know.

You're not a bad penny. You're just

the dearest, sweetest husband...

a woman ever had.

Darling, you amaze me.

You look so differently,

and you-

you act so differently.

I am different. And I've

been praying you'd come back,

so I could prove it.

Will you promise not to laugh

if I show you something?

I promise.

I'm-I'm too astonished

to laugh.

You do understand,

don't you?

Oh, darling, I understand.

Why... I love you.

Cosmo.

But I wonder if you knew

everything. If you knew-

I don't want to know anything. I'm just

going to love you, and never question.

So long, Toppy.

We're on our way.

We won't be seeing you

anymore, Toppy. So long.

What was that?

I thought I heard voices.

No. Remember, darling,

love me and never question.

Bless our happy home.
