“At what?”

“Oh-Marilyn. You don’t-you didn’t really fall for her, did you?”

I grinned at her. “Come on over. Sit down and join the party.”

She said, “You did a swell job with Marilyn.”

“Why?”

“She was looking daggers at me a few minutes ago when she thought I was making a play for you. Now she’s signaled me to go ahead.”

“Circumstances alter cases.”

She said, “Donald, you’re a deep one. Just what are you after?”

“Nothing that’s going to hurt you any.”

She looked at me and said, “I’ll bet you’d give a girl a square deal at that.”
