"Oh, Heavens," screamed Pearl, "Wait a minute till I get something on," as she fled into the bathroom.
"Never mind, sweetheart—I like you just as you are, that's why I came up at this hour; I thought I'd find you in bed, or just getting out of it."
"Oh, please hand me something to put on," came the voice from the bathroom.
"Hold your hand out to get it, then."
Pearl opened the door to put her hand out, and as she did, he slid his foot into the opening.
"Oh, please, don't come in—I haven't a thing on."
"That's why I'm coming in," he answered, as he pushed the door open and caught her in his arms.
