"By Miss Gilbert's invitation, of course. I suppose that is the case with you."
"Certainly. Does she know that you are a telegraph boy?"
"Yes."
"That's strange. Did you ever meet her?"
"Oh, yes; I have spent the evening here two or three times."
"That's queer. By the way, you seem to be very nicely dressed."
"I am glad you like my suit."
"Yet you are as poor as poverty. It was a crazy idea to run into debt for an expensive suit."
"I didn't run into debt. My suit is paid for."
"Yet your mother claims to be very poor."
