#523 Having come home unexpectedly, Louis found his wife in the arms of his best friend. His wife scowled at him over the friend's shoulder and said, Uhoh! Here comes Mr. Big Mouth! Now the whole neighborhood will know."
#524 Louis, having come home to find his wife in the arms of another man, was stricken to the heart. "Darling," he said, more in sorrow than in anger, "how can you treat me so? Have I ever deprived you of anything? Have I ever begrudged you your slightest wish? Have I ever in any way mistreated you? Have I not in everything thought of you, bent all my efforts... And you, you dirty bum, at least leave her alone while I'm talking to her."
#525 Louis, having come home to find his wife in the arms of another man, rushed out of the room, crying, "I'm getting my shotgun." His wife dashed after him despite her unclothed state. She seized him and shouted, "You fool! What are you getting excited about? It was my lover who paid for the new furniture we recently got. My new clothes, the extra money you thought I earned sewing, all the little luxuries we've been able to buy----all came from him." But Louis wrenched away and continued up the stairs. "No shotgun, Louis," wailed his wife. "What shotgun?" called back Louis. "I'm getting a blanket. That poor fellow will catch cold lying there like that."
