Accordingly, they arrive. At supper. Elizabeth remarks that her mother looks tired out, and then helps with the housework. The old couple are persuaded to go back to the city with the young people and prepare to make the trip. In the city, Mr. Gray has the first chance to dress in evening clothes. The starched bosom of his dress shirt sticks out and Mother Gray, after some difficulty, pushes it into place. When Mrs. Gray appears in a low-necked dinner gown, her husband will not have it and ties a scarf about her neck to make up for the missing section. At dinner, Mrs. Gray sends out for a shawl, and her husband places it about the shoulders of one of the guests whose gown is of extremely low out. When the couple wishes to go for a walk, the limousine is always waiting. City idleness makes the Grays extremely uncomfortable and they decide to return home surreptitiously. While the young couple are out at the matinee, they leave the house and are driven to the railroad station in a grocery wagon. When their absence is noted by Elizabeth and her husband, the conclusion is arrived at that the couple has returned home. They hastily motor to the country and arrive just at 10:30 o'clock as the old couple are about to drink a toast together in celebration of their wedding anniversary. The party is augmented by the two young people and the quartet drink the toast. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
