After telling of his reliable relationship with Vicky, Doc Hall discovers that she forgot her usual note of encouragement.

Doc Hall talks with his colleague, Heathcliff about his concerns. The ritual of presenting his annual poem to the ladies is disrupted, but the encouragement Toddy finds comes from another source.
