Dunderblitzen" and is given a room directly opposite Gale's. He is a violinist and Gale is so charmed with his music that she finally nerves herself to go to his room. The clerk hears the playing and thinks that some cats are having a song fest. Finally he traces the music to Bill's room, where the two quarrel violently. Gale becomes angry and breaks the violin over the clerk's head and he flees for his life. Bill is heartbroken over the loss of his violin and orders Gale from the room. The laundry arrives and Gale receives a bundle marked with the initials "B.V.D." She finally persuades the clerk to advertise for the owner and a colored man claims the laundry as his. The clerk gives him the note she had left inviting him to have tea with her. In his Sunday best he calls on the horrified Gale. Bill overhears the argument and starts out to investigate. The darkie pulls a razor on him and Bills gets a gun from the clerk and starts after him, the darkie taking refuge in a molasses barrel. When Gale shows Bill that she has sufficient money to keep them in luxury for some time, he decides that he will let the prophecy of the tea cup be fulfilled.
