"Saw who?" said Bobo with innocent wide open eyes.
"Come off! Who is it that makes your eyes shine, and your mouth purse up in a whistle?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"We're wasting time."
"If you are referring to Miss Culbreth," said Bobo on his dignity, "I have not seen her."
"What's the use of lying to me? You're as transparent as window glass!"
"Oh, if you've made up your mind that I'm a liar, what's the use of my saying anything?"
"Look here. Miriam is either what I think she is, or what you think she is. If she's all that's good and pure as you think——"
"As I know!" corrected Bobo.
Jack dryly accepted the correction. "As you know. It can't do her any harm to tell me the truth about what happened to-day."
