At the suggestion of Maude's mother to remedy this condition of things, they decide to go away from each other for one week every month. Maude goes to her friend, Margaret, at Willowdale, and Powell to his old chum, Joe, at Harrington. The first night, they are morose and found to be very unsociable by their friends. On the second night the boys sing, "I wonder who's hugging her now." Powell can stand the strain no longer, feigns illness and leaves. Margaret and the girls sing, "Who are you with tonight?" which is the pinnacle of Maude's fears and she takes her departure for home, leaving a note for her hostess. Margaret arrives in Harrington and Powell in Willowdale where each learn by telephone that the other is not there. Full of suspicion, heartbroken and wretched, they return to the hotel where they both live. Maude arrives first, casts herself on the bed in despair. Powell does his groaning in the living room. Hearing each other's movements, they mistake them for those of a burglar. Half hoping that it is and that they will be shot, each starts to investigate. When they meet, their surprise is covered only by humility and curiosity and they humbly forgive, happy in each other's embrace, each tells his story to the happiness and amusement of the other.
