“There, Guy, do not grow sentimental; of course I mean it.”

“And would you really say no?”

“I said I would not say yes.”

“Well, what does that mean but no?”

“It means that I would not readily give my consent.”

“Why not?”

“I would not wish to.”

Guy looked perplexed.

“June,” he said, speaking suddenly, “I never thought you were a coquette.”

“Your opinion is a correct one regarding that.”
