"My love for you is very serious, Patty."
But Patty was not willing to treat it so. "That's the trouble," she said; "now if your love for me were frivolous——"
"Then it wouldn't be worth having, Patty."
"Oh, I—don't—know! At any rate, Ken, can't you mix it? Say three parts seriousness to one part frivolousness? Though I'd rather have the proportions reversed."
"Patty, you're incorrigible!"
"Good gracious! what's that? It must be something awfully nice, if I'm it."
"Well, you are it,—and I don't know what to do with you."
"You mean, you don't know what to do without me!"
"Same thing. But you'll promise me this, won't you? To think it over seriously and not decide at once."
"Yes, I'll promise that. How long do you want me to think it over, Ken?"
