"I suppose I must have."
"Is that why you made us see Irene home first—so that you could be alone with me?"
"I suppose so. Any more questions? You're worse than my sister, and she'd ask the tail off a cat."
"Hum!"
"Cheer up, Puzzled Willy."
"Have you ever—er—well, insisted on having the person you wanted before?"
"No, I've not. Not like that. I can't make myself out sometimes. I don't understand myself. I do a thing all of a sudden and the next minute I couldn't tell anybody why I done it."
"I might have thought you were running after me," said Maurice.
"Who cares? If you did, it wouldn't matter to me. If I wanted you to make a fool of yourself, you'd make a fool of yourself."
"But supposing I made a fool of you?" asked Maurice, slightly nettled.
