Mama Clermond rushed into the other room as the door bell rang, apperently She hadn't heard Dot in the hurry. She returned with her Mother and her best friend Betty, the bride's maid of honor. They hugged and talked like old times looking over dresses.

Mr. Clermond drove through the busy streets of New York city as Tip and Herbert sat. Herbert let out a sigh.
" New York city, its been too long, I've missed you," He said.
Then looked over at his Dad who was looking at him.
" What took you so long? did you miss the train?" He asked.
Tip looked down.
" No, almost though but thats not it, you see the train was robbed lastnight, and the conductor thought we did it and we where thrown off and... you see we had to catch a ride.." He said.
" Do the police know about this?" Mr. Clermond asked.
Herbert shook his head.
" No they don't- look we should just.." he wanted no trouble.
Mr. Clermond pulled over and looked at them both. my trade he was a lawyer, and he liked people getting justice.
" There is times I'd like to ring people's necks, you didn't even get a refund, We're going to have this ironed out!" He said.
And he directed the car to the police station and told their dilemma. the Freindly police officer smiled as he heard they had to be at a wedding ruffling his hand through his hair he took down their names.
" Well, I'll get right on it, you go and get to your wedding," He said.
They walked out, relieved for now. The police where on the crook's trail.
They walked into the church and they disapeared down to a room to get changed. Dot was just rushing by following her Mother, he motioned Dot over, She stopped and looked at him.
" Yes Tip? I'm busy," She said.
" Don't worry about the train thing, we told the police so Mom can rest assured," He said.
She smiled and then hurried off.
