HE—I understand, dear girl.
SHE—And when you asked me in the alcove if I—whether I would give myself to you for keeps—and you spoke so beautifully, Carroll!—indeed, I had trouble to keep back the tears. Love is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
HE—It is, dearest.
SHE—You are coming early tonight, aren't you?
HE—I will fly to you as soon as I can. I tell you what, can't you meet me downtown and have lunch with me?
SHE—Oh! may I? You know I'd just love to!
HE—Well, meet me at half-past 12. Usual corner, you know—Fidelity Building. Goodbye until then.
XI.
(Wednesday, April 10.)
SHE—Madison 7-9-3-1-y, please. Is that you, Carroll?
HE—Yes, it is I.
