LUCY BELLE (in joyous memory)
An’ miss yo’ by free inches!
(They both laugh uproariously.)
CHICK
Mah soul! Dat was some night! Git home ’bout seven o’clock in mawnin’.
LUCY BELLE (with just a note of wistfulness in her tones)
Still have dances up dere?
CHICK (exclaiming)
Do dey? ’Bout ev’y night. (In ardent admiration.) Yo’s de bes’ lil’ dancer I evah knowed.
