His wife has the exasperating habit of apparently taking her time and yet is always on hand at the appointed hour. She will always make a train by a hair, never seems to hurry, while Billings is in constant fever until he is at the designated place. The Wesleys have bought a place in the country and the Billings are going to spend a week with them. The train leaves at 2 P.M. sharp. Billings warns his wife that she must be on time. He finishes dressing long before she does, and in order to kill time he resolves to take the little dog out for a run. He does so and the dog runs away. While Billings is chasing it. Mrs. Billings is calmly dressing, orders a taxi, arrives at the station, and Billings gets there just in time to see the train pull out with his wife gaily waiving her hand at him.
