Hortense explains she cannot marry Billy due to duties to dependents and to support friends Tom Jim and other suitors. Billy teases a spread of engagements while insisting he can adapt with opera, education, and domestic skills. The pair debate temper, tastes, and practical constraints as they near the city.
A string of cheeky witticisms and humorous exchanges plays out in a lighthearted scene. Chester jokes about a landlady bug while Archie notes lady bugs do not roam in young men’s rooms. Nax jokes about an asbestos curtain to curb roasting as Nick teases a marriage proposal and a puppy debt. Old Joseph quips on parental strength and support as Mary begs a parrot’s collar button. Tommy and Courte banter about a call that evening and unexpected visits.

A jumble of verse on best marriage months contrasts with satirical snippets about figures like Andrew Carnegie Theodore Roosevelt and Mayor Shank. The piece mocks bath customs with coffee and whisky tubs and ends with garbled text and stray lines.

A rustic quip fest features a mock courthouse tale where Jim Simpson sues Abner Hawley for wife trouble and a judge awards six cents, prompting the wife to fling a chair. Interludes include a parrot imitator and sales pitches for Jagway furniture polish amid domestic mishaps and double entendre.
