HE—Give me the chance. But I'm afraid you're a "jollier," Miss Pratt. SHE—You're the first to tell me. HE—Did you say "first" or "fiftieth"? There was a noise on the wire just then. SHE—I know you're a flirt. HE—Never! I've got my fingers crossed. SHE—Those eyes of yours were not made for nothing. HE—Neither were yours. Jack said so last night. By the by, he's a capital fellow. I'll never get over being grateful to him for bringing us together. SHE—I think he's just fine. HE—You're speaking very zealously. Do you know I'm almost jealous of him when I hear you talk like that. SHE—I'm a loyal champion for my friends, you'll find. I have but few, and those I keep. HE—Do you ever add to the list? SHE—That's for you to discover. HE—Count me in, please.[Pg 49] [Pg 49] SHE—Well—I'm willing to try to do so. HE—Thanks, awfully. By the way, they've pledged me their word that a copy of that novel will be here tomorrow. May I bring it around Sunday evening? SHE—Why, I could be reading the book all day Sunday. HE—Then I'll make it tomorrow night. Will that suit? SHE—I have no engagement, and will be glad to have you. HE—Good-bye until then.
