He arrives at the house, full of appetite and love. As dinner is not ready upon his arrival, Billie joins the family in a little gab-fest. He is given the best chair in the room which is Grandfather's rocker, but no sooner does he sit down than Billie realizes something is wrong. A hasty examination discloses the fact that Billie's trousers have become caught in a break in the chair seat, and try as he will, Billie cannot rise. Dinner is announced but Billie is forced to decline because of his awkward predicament. When pressed for the reason why he refuses to eat, Billie says he has a headache. Mrs. Gray, a motherly old soul, at once imagines that Billie is really sick, and orders that he be put to bed in the spare room at once. Billie is lugged off to bed in spite of his protests, but when the family are all asleep, Billie tries to sneak out of the house and is mistaken by Mr. Gray for a burglar. A lively chase through the snow ensues, and Billie is taken into custody by the Constable, who imposes a fine on Billie for appearing in public insufficiently clothed.
