TOO LATE

He.—"What! You haven't got a dance left?"

She.—"No. It's past two o'clock! Why didn't you come earlier?"

He.—"Well, a feller must dine, you know!"

She-Gossip (alluding to newly-wedded pair).—"There go 'Beauty and the Beast,' as they are called! She would marry him. Her parents strongly opposed the match, as you may imagine."

He-Gossip (who flatters himself that he understands the sex).—"By George! The parental opposition must have been strong to make her marry such a ruffian as that!"
