Jack, the first thing I asked about you when I heard that--er--that things were getting this way was, does he smoke? A man who smokes has always that outlet. If things go wrong--go out and smoke a cigar, and when the cigar's finished, ten to one everything's got right, somehow! If you lose your temper, don't speak!--a cigar, and when it's finished, then speak! You'll find the temper all gone up in the smoke! A woman's happiness is safest with a man who smokes. (He clears his throat, which is filling.) God bless you, Jack, it is a wrench; our only girl, you know. She's been a great joy--ahem! [ (He quickly gets out a cigar.) (MRS. TILLMAN: No, no, dear, they're!) Well, the best I can say is, I wish you as happy a married life as her mother and I have had.
