"Suppose I have other engagements?"
"Chuck them—ah—just for once!"
"And maybe mother won't let me."
"Well, tease her!"
"And then," added Ruth, "you haven't met Marjorie Wilkinson. She's considered (by some) the most attractive girl at our school!"
"Oh, forget her! I've seen her, even if I haven't met her. Her type doesn't appeal to me!"
Ruth laughed good naturedly, and surrendered. But she made one reservation.
"I promised Jack Wilkinson I'd go to the movies with him on Friday."
