By a clever ruse Emily substituted herself for Amy at the wedding (they were about the same height and coloring) and to Mr. Fatigay's horror he discovered he was married to a chimpanzee! The parson would do nothing about it. Mr. Fatigay rushed off to go to the dogs; Amy showed herself in true and unattractive colors; Emily, despairing but practical, went on the stage as a dancer...
