She can't bring herself to do it, especially when she sees how Norval reacts to it, but Norval ends up wanting to marry her anyway. Because this is a Preston Sturges film, Hilarity Ensues. Despite the fact this was delayed a year due to censorship issues with the Hays Code, this remains one of the most adroit examples of Getting Crap Past the Radar ever made.
