"Oh, don't I? And you told me all about the plague spots?"
"Yes." She gazed out of the window. "You were interesting that day, Jerry."
"Was! I like that."
"So elephantine in your seriousness—"
"Elephantine! Oh, I say—"
"But you were nice. I don't think I've ever liked you so much as then. I think you're really much more interesting when you're elephantine. It was quite glorious the way you were planning to go galumphing over all vice and wickedness."

"I haven't made good, Una."
"Oh, there's still time. The jungle is still there, but it's an awfully big jungle, Jerry, bigger than you thought."
"Yes—bigger and swampier," he said slowly.
