“I’m glad,” I said. “One of these days you must tell me all about your love life. It should be very, very interesting.”

“Mr. Kruger won’t keep you long,” he said.
“Tell him not to stop to brush his teeth. I ain’t particular,” I said.

“There you are,” I said, admiring his suit “What a well-turned-out guy you’ve turned out to be.”
“Where is she?” he said.
