"I think we are going to dinner at one of those huge hotels," Janet said. "I know it will be thrilling."
"Yes, I think that's part of it too," Phyllis agreed.
"Only part?" Janet inquired.

"And quite enough too," Janet replied.
But dinner at a hotel was not all. A theater followed, and Janet, who had never seen a play before, was so excited and thrilled that people around her who had come expecting to be bored went home chuckling over the memory of her shining eyes.
They reached home tired and sleepy but very happy.
"It would have been a perfect day if I hadn't kept thinking that Tommy was going away to-morrow," Phyllis sighed and yawned. "Why do we always have to have some little thing to spoil perfect fun, I wonder."
