1:23:02
- Hold still, Mr. Jones.
- Did you get any ransom note?
1:23:05
Take it easy, boys.
Mr. Jones is just out of hospital.
1:23:08
Go into the kitchen, Jones.
Felix has some coffee for you.
1:23:10
Boys, you realize Mrs. Sloan
has had a very trying time.
1:23:13
I will let you know
of any further developments.
1:23:15
We'll take care of everything.
1:23:17
We'll have an extra
on the street in an hour.
1:23:19
- The second you hear news, let me know.
- I will.
1:23:24
Now, what is this all about?
1:23:26
Fine time to be asking what it's all about.
1:23:28
Lucky for you, I prevented the press
from printing the truth...
1:23:31
...whilst you've been gallivanting about
all night.
1:23:33
I've been in jail.
1:23:35
- In jail?
- Your baby.
1:23:38
- What about my baby?
- It isn't here, dear.
1:23:40
- Of course it isn't.
- No. I saw it being kidnapped.
1:23:43
Our baby, the Smart Housekeeping baby.
1:23:45
- Kidnapped?
- As I came home I saw a woman...
1:23:47
...in a cloak and hood go out of this house
carrying your baby in her arms.
1:23:50
- Oh, that. Don't get so excited.
- Elizabeth.
1:23:53
Well, of all the heartless, callous,
irresponsible women...
1:23:56
...I've ever met in my whole life.
1:23:58
You can sit there and tell me not to get
excited while your own baby...
1:24:01
Be careful, Mr. Yardley,
or you'll have a stroke.
1:24:04
This is incredible.
1:24:06
This is fantastic.
1:24:08
Here, I believe you to be the finest,
the most exemplary wife and mother.
1:24:12
Mr. Yardley, if you'd just sit down
and calm yourself...
1:24:15
Of all the brazen, cheap...
1:24:19
I suppose you've fallen in love with this
young whippersnapper, hero Jones?
1:24:23
Well, frankly, I... I have.
1:24:30
So your husband and child
no longer mean anything to you.
1:24:34
Well, let me tell you something,
Mrs. Sloan.
1:24:37
If you feel no moral responsibility
towards your husband and child...
1:24:40
...I have a magazine to protect.
1:24:42
If you think you can make a mockery
of Yardley Publications, you're mistaken.
1:24:46
My public believe in you.
1:24:47
Millions of women in these United States
pattern their daily lives after that feature.
1:24:51
You'll live up to their ideals,
or my name is not Alexander Yardley!
1:24:54
But if you'd just let me talk a minute.
You see, John and I were never married.
1:24:59
Never married?
