ROBERT.
About our kissing, too?
BERTHA.
Of course. I told him all.
ROBERT.
[Shakes his head slowly.] Extraordinary little person! Were you not ashamed?
BERTHA.
No.
ROBERT.
Not a bit?
BERTHA.
No. Why? Is that terrible?
ROBERT.
And how did he take it? Tell me. I want to know everything, too.
BERTHA.
[Laughs.] It excited him. More than usual.
ROBERT.
Why? Is he excitable—still?
BERTHA.
[Archly.] Yes, very. When he is not lost in his philosophy.
