"Oh, she must be," said Dolly admiringly.
Savile blushed and said, "My dear girl, she doesn't know me from Adam! So there!"
"Then why on earth did you break it off before?" said Dolly, clapping her hands and beaming.
"Well, you see, I think a good deal of her," said Savile, "and then, what with one thing and another—you didn't seem to want me much."
"But I do now!" said Dolly frankly.
"Oh, all right. Well, look here, old girl, we'll be engaged, just as we were before; but—I must have my freedom."
"Indeed you shan't," said Dolly, with flashing eyes. "I never heard such nonsense! What do you mean by your freedom? Then can't I have mine too?"
"Rather not! What a baby you are, Dolly. Don't you know, there's one law for a man and another for a woman?"
She gasped with rage.
"I never heard such nonsense in my life. I shall certainly not allow anything of the kind. Either we're engaged or we're not."
