She couldn't shake him, for he followed her to the theater and waited until after rehearsal, and her disdain only served to make him more eager. He came to be a regular pest, and Drake, the stage manager, decided that something needed to be done. They persuaded Billy that the best way to get a smile from Patsy was to become an actor himself, and he was enlisted in the force of supers. Then they sent a box ticket to his wife for his opening performance. She didn't know who sent the box ticket. For that matter she didn't care, but she was there early and audibly. Billy didn't know she was coming, but he was afraid that someone might recognize him, and he insisted upon a disguising beard. Billy saw her as soon as he came on the stage, but he felt safe hiding behind his whiskers, and all might have been well had it not happened that the beard came off, and as luck would have it, it happened right in front of the box in which his wife was sitting. Billy had amused the audience before them, but what followed was funnier than anything that the show ever offered. It broke up the performance, but the audience certainly had its money's worth, and Billy, for once, was glad to go to jail to escape his better half.
