He rings for Miss Erskins, his real one, but every time she enters, Topper is telling the invisible Marion to go away. Miss Erskins and the bank president hear his comments to Marion about getting off his lap. Mrs. Bates comes to see him. It is Ellen, his twice-divorced goddaughter asking for his help in talking Aunt Emma into letting her marry the movie star Larry Hartford. Aunt Emma enters as Ellen is leaving and asks Topper for help in keeping Ellen from making another marriage mistake. A Saturday night dinner is planned. Henrietta is planning for a large affair - about 86 - but Topper says it is supposed to be small. When George asks about the dinner guests, he learns that Ellen will be coming. They used to date and Aunt Emma wanted them to marry. George is sure that Ellen still misses him and his unequaled good looks. Saturday night arrives and no one is home when George comes down for dinner. The others have gone to the Club 22 as he learns by eavesdropping on Katie's phone call with her sister. George shows up. Ellen feels a chill. She then mentions that the Toppers live in the old Kirby house. She talks about him sneaking her in one time when his wife was away. He switched off the lights. Next, Aunt Emma appears having been told in a note from George. The waiter's autograph business spoils all the attempts to keep Hartford's name out of the conversation. No need to try and hide it, Aunt Emma recognized him immediately. Hartford tells her off and she likes his honesty. She also went to see his latest movie and thinks he's a good actor, too. All is well. Written by Garon Smith See less
