Doc tips his hat to those that they walk past, and shakes the hands and greets all the folk that stop them with an honest smile and a bit of charm.
But when Mrs. Parker approaches (just as Doc expected either her or Mrs. Tennyson to do so within the first few moments of joining the gathering) he offers her a nod in greeting, then stands quietly as Katherine is called away by her need to talk to the Mayor and his wife.
When they're alone (so to speak), he removes his hat and bows his head.
"Mornin', Mrs. Parker," he replies. "I hope this day finds you well, as it sure is a fine one for a picnic. I must admit I'm a bit jealous of the fine weather ya'll have out here. Much nicer than New York City -- and please, call me Josiah."
