'It seems too awful I should have been with you such a long time this afternoon,' she exclaimed.
'It isn't long.'
'And sometimes it seems so dreadful to think I can't be with you always.'
'Yes, doesn't it? Mavis dear, will you do up your hair and come out to dinner?'
'Vincy dear, I think I'd better not, because of Aunt Jessie.'
'Oh, very well; all right. Then you will another time?'
'Oh, you don't want me to stay?'
'Yes, I do; do stay.'
'No, next time—next Tuesday.'
'Very well, very well.'
