Just as he turns a corner he collides with two queens of fashion and, bowing to the ground, begs them to excuse his awkwardness. They reply so sweetly and are altogether so charming that Willyboy decides to turn back and follow them. They are highly amused when they see the conquest they have made and throw smiling glances every now and then over their shoulders. They finally enter a bake shop and are hardly seated at one of the tables when in comes faithful Willyboy and takes a seat right next to them. He looks very demure, indeed, just as if he happened in there by the merest accident, and ordering the first thing that comes into his head, finds himself compelled to eat a half dozen of the richest chocolate éclairs while he waits for the girls to finish their lunch. When they leave the store he follows right along, feeling anything but comfortable, however, after his heavy lunch. Their next stop is at the dentist's, but great indeed is his consternation as the young ladies beg the dentist to attend to him first as they are not in a hurry and can wait. Willyboy is game, however, and actually has two molars and one incisor extracted while the girls in the waiting room shriek with merriment at the trick they have played on him. When the operation is over he passes out with his handkerchief to his poor month and is astonished to hear the girls tell the doctor that they will put off their engagement until another day.

Anything but well when he left the bake shop, the teeth extracting completely finished him, and consequently after the first few puffs of the strong cigarettes provided by his chance acquaintances, our poor hero feels as if he were on the high seas and the vessel was doing a terrible lot of rolling.
