SPOILER: EPILOGUE: "Yes, Mr. Bridge arrived home in time to save Mrs. Bridge. Much irritated, he telephoned a towing service, and the Lincoln was soon dislodged. [Alternate Wording: 'He very quickly arranged for a tow-truck to dislodge the Lincoln. He was so irritated, however, that he forgot to give Mrs. Bridge the roses.'] They went on as before for quite a few years. Ruth, ever restless, went to Paris with a painter. She liked it so much that she stayed for 10 years, though not with the same painter. Carolyn divorced Gil and moved back home to the Mission Hill District, where she soon remarried. Douglas studied law at Stanford after getting out of the Air Force. He returned to Kansas City to marry a very nice girl and to carry on his father's firm. His son Walter in due course also joined the firm, which is now called Bridge, Bridge & Bridge."
