Thankfully, Mary Louise meets Mrs. Abby, an artist, who makes a sketch of her missing manners to help in the hunt. And what does Mary Louise’s manners look like? They have "big ears for listening," says Mary Louise, "[a]nd a little mouth to keep naughty words from slipping out." The arms? Short, says Mary Louise, "for not reaching across the table."
With sketch in hand, Mary Louise visits a restaurant where the waitress recognizes the manners in the picture. But, alas, they were here—"and helped put bibs on the babies and forks on the tables"—and were gone.
Mary Louise continues on her way, visiting the doctor’s office, the hot-dog vendor, a street musician, and the bus stop. Apparently, Mary Louise’s manners had "been running around town exercising themselves."
And where does she finally find her manners? Asleep in the library, kindly covered with newspapers (because they were snoring). "Nobody’s perfect, not even manners," says the librarian. Into the wagon they go. Then, happy and humming, Mary Louise heads back home with a promise never to let her manners run away again.
