Despite his injunction to keep away from Miss Emaline, Lum took the chance to talk her out of resigning as a school teacher. Today we find Lum on the telephone to share his happy results with Ezra. Abner is eager to get the full details on what Lum said to keep the school teacher on the job. Was it the love light burning in her eyes for Lum?
Lum tells that Miss Emaline had never intended to resign or to get an injunction. She only made those claims in a fit of temper. When putting on the spot, after emotions have settled, she was all too eager to put the past behind them, and resume life as usual.
To express his feelings, Lum gets Abner confused over whether he’s sailing, running, or flying. He wants to celebrate in a big way and wishes there was a classy party in town to go to with Miss Emaline. How about a rollerskating date? Lum brags again, this time about his skill on skates. Abner is doubtful endpoints out to Lum that he can’t skate. How does he expect to teach anybody else to skate?
