“Don’t be absurd,” said Morrison. “I hear you’ve been ill.”
“Yes. I’ve been going to the dogs, absolutely to the dogs. I had to pull up. . . . I didn’t know you knew Logan; but, of course, as he’s so thick with Kühler——!”
“I met him for the first time to-night. What do you think of his work?”
“Flashy!” said Mitchell. “Very flashy. . . . Will you let me come and see you again?”
“I’d rather not, if you don’t mind.”
“Why do you dislike me so much?”
“I don’t dislike you. I can’t trust you not to be silly.”
“Gawd! I bet I’m not half so silly as Kühler!”
“He is never silly!”
“Ah! Now you’re offended!”
