dates in their contracts. They have no
desire to take a chance on being let out

The lovers come to the conclusion
that they must tell the husband in all
honesty. after a couple Of thousand
feet of the usual natives, highbals and

so they gallop back to Susan's home
only to find that old Walt has just
been told he will shortly be blind and
there's nothing to do about it. From
then on it's Susan and Ken Outdoing
each other in trying to play the game

down and goes emotional in big way.
