The brink is attained when Mary shows up to play tug of war with Bing for custody of their ten-year-old son (Malcolm Brod-rick), a sensitive lad who loves his papa, hates his mamma, and utters sagacities, mature beyond belief, that would help resolve the mess if only the squabbling adults would listen to him.
