When Angel arrived at the Manhattan Lodging House, Jack was talking with Mush in the hall by Kloppman's office.
"Angel?"
"Hey Mush, hey Jack."
Mush ran up to her and hugged her. Jack did the same.
"Hey guys, where's Race?"
"He went to the tracks wit Snoody an' Pie Eatah." Mush said.
"Yeah, but dey should be back soon, though."
"Oh, ok."
Then, Specs came out of the bathroom with a mini cigar in his mouth.
"Hey ya, Sophie!"
"Specs, dis ain't Sophie, dis is Angel!" Mush said with a grin.
"Oh.... Hi."
Then he walked back up the steps.
"Sorry Angel, he's getting' ovah his hang ovah from last night!"
"Yeah, if that was me, I'd be calling you Santa!"
Jack laughed.
Then, the door opened and Race, Snoody, and Pie Eater came in with happy faces.

"It's good to see you, Race!"
"Man, yer a site fer soar eyes!"
"Race, I have some very exiting news to tell you!"

"I'M ENGADGED!" she said showing him the ring.
Everyone's eyes put on the "O MY GOD!" look as they all congregated around Angel to congratulate her.
"Oh Race, Spot said he wanted you to be his best man."
"Ok.... WOW!" "Angel's getting hitched!"
