"Have you?" enquired Sallie in a tone full of sweetness and meaning.
The man subsided.
One day Sallie rang me up, and by the impatient "There? There?? There??? Oh, bother!" I knew that something important was in the air.
"I am," I replied.
"What?"
"Here, of course," I replied.
"I've got it," said Sallie; "I've got it."
"Heavens!" I responded. "How did you catch it? Hadn't you better go to bed?"
"You're not a bit funny. Aren't you glad I've got it?" she queried.
"Certainly, very glad if you are."
