SHE—You told me a lot of things.
HE—I told you you were the most tormenting little vixen on earth.
SHE—You didn't mean it, did you? All right, mother. Listen, Carroll, I really must go. Tell me you didn't mean it.
HE—I did mean it. You are the most tormenting, also the most lovable. I wouldn't have you otherwise.
SHE—Oh, Carroll!
HE—Goodbye.
X.
(Tuesday, February 5.)
SHE—Madison 7-9-3-1-y, please. Is Mr. Carroll Vincent up? At breakfast? Please tell him Miss Pratt wishes to speak to him. Oh, Carroll, I haven't slept a wink since you left me at the door! I'm so happy! I just lay awake thinking of last night, and then I thought I'd get up and 'phone you before you went downtown. I'm so happy!
HE—I'm glad you are, sweetheart. I'll try all my life to keep you so. I wish I could get closer to you than over this 'phone.
SHE—What would you do?
