OK:

As Steve peered into Lola and Lana's room, he saw Lola pretending to pour tea into Fred's cup. Fred was wearing a blue hat with a daisy in it on his head and a pink apron with a heart on it over his torso.

"Would you like some tea, Mrs. Nesbitt," Lola asked.

"Fred," Steve gasped.

"It's so nice you could join us on such late notice," said Lola.

"Oh no," Steve said to himself, "how am I gonna talk to Fred without interrupting the party?"

Just then, Steve had an idea. He walked away form the doorstep and cleared his throat.

"Lola," Steve called while mimicing Frank, "Oh, Lola!"

"Frank," asked Lola as she looked up from her party.

Lola then turned back to her guests.

"Please excuse me, ladies," said Lola, "I'll be right back."

As Lola exited the room and made her way down the stairs, Steve hid in a linen closet, then checked to make sure Lola was out of sight. When it came clear to him that the coast was clear, he went into the room and found Fred slumped over in his seat at the table.

"Fred," said Steve, "Hey, Fred, are you OK?"

"Gone", shouted Fred, "it's all gone. All of it's gone. Bye bye. Whoo! See ya."

"What happened to you," asked Steve.

"One minute you're playing drums in a rock band," Fred said, "and suddenly you find yourself sucking down darjeeling with..."

Then, Fred got up, leaned into Steve's ear, and pointed to two of Lola's dolls.

"Marie Antoinette and her little sister," whispered Fred.

Fred chuckled as Steve gently removed the cup from Fred's hand.

"I think you've had enough tea for today," said Steve, "let's get you out of here, Fred."

"Don't you get it," snapped Fred, "you see the hat?! I am Mrs. Nesbitt!"

Fred then laughed a very goofy laugh and Steve quickly grew annoyed.

"Snap out fo it Fred," Steve yelled.

Steve knocked the hat off and slapped Fred across the face.
