"Such as what?"
"She told me I had lately had a letter from a person who was interested in me. So I had. I got a letter from Charlie Cameron only a week before. Me and Charlie went to school together, so, of course, he feels interested in me."
"What else?"
"She said a girl with black eyes was in love with me."
"Is that true?"
John nodded complacently.
"Who is it?"
"I don't know her name, but I've met her two or three times on the street, and she always looked at me and smiled."
"Struck with your looks, I suppose," suggested Oliver.
