"Of course," said Katie; "that's a self-evident fact. I know that, and she is your ladylove. But I want to know all about her, and, first of all, her name."
"I didn't think that you thought I was thinking of a lady," said Harry.
"What a ridiculous observation!" said Katie; "and I know you only say that to tease me, when you know I'm so curious about this friend of yours."
"Well," said Harry, "in the first place, her name is Talbot."
"Talbot? What else?"
"Sydney—Sydney Talbot."
"Sydney Talbot! But that isn't a girl's name; it's a man's name."
