But the car breaks down miles from anywhere and when the travellers at last liud an inn it is one in which there is little accommodation. There it is discovered that there is only one bedroom unoccupied, and through a series of misunderstandings they are mistaken 'for husband and wife, and compelled to spend the night in this room. “You keep complaining because you’ve nowhere to sleep. Sleep on the floor,” commands Mrs Hickett. 11 lo any decent-minded person there’s nothing wrong in your sleeping on the floor of my room is there."'” “But vneie s the decent-minded person?” queries Wvkeham. Wykeham’s mother-in-law Mrs Bone, suspecting the worst, hurries to the inn, bringing the goodnatured Major with her, to tax her son-in-hnV’ with his perfidy, and as his wife and 'Mrs Hickett’s husband arrive later on complications continue and the fun is uproarious to the final fal 1 of the curtain.
