"What did you do else, if it isn't rude to ask?"
"Oh! I went to the concert at St. James'. They did the Tannhäuser overture."
"Did you like it?"
"Oh yes, it was awfully pretty."

"I expected you would think it stupid or ugly."
"How did you know?" asked he.
"You told me yourself. I knew almost as soon as you began to speak. Never mind. Don't look so puzzled. You shall come to the opera some night with me, and hear it again. I'm dreadfully rude, am I not?"
"You rude! No!" said Reggie, stoutly. "But you mustn't mind my being stupid."
