The Young Man: (Eagerly) Are you growing fond of literature?
Julie: If it’s not too ancient or complicated or depressing. Same way with people. I usually like ’em not too ancient or complicated or depressing.
The Young Man: Of course I’ve read enormously. You told me last night that you were very fond of Walter Scott.
Julie: (Considering) Scott? Let’s see. Yes, I’ve read “Ivanhoe” and “The Last of the Mohicans.”
The Young Man: That’s by Cooper.
Julie: (Angrily) “Ivanhoe” is? You’re crazy! I guess I know. I read it.
The Young Man: “The Last of the Mohicans” is by Cooper.
Julie: What do I care! I like O. Henry. I don’t see how he ever wrote those stories. Most of them he wrote in prison. “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” he made up in prison.
