The judge called to him, and the bishop stopped, looked back and waved. "So long, James," the judge said...
...fantasies of the pair's love life. Husband and wife are reunited in an episode bordering on burlesque. Answering a call of nature in the entranceway of a fashionable hotel, a boozed-up Ginger is booked for "indecent exposure."
