"If that is the way you feel about it," said Gud, "perhaps I had better write you into the book myself."
"Could you really? Oh, Gud! I would die of joy to be written by you; not even a movie actress ever had a celestial press agent!"
"I'll try," said Gud, "that is, if you will tarry with me as I write."
"Do you mean that I would inspire you?"
"Exactly."
"That is what they all say!"
"Then it must be true."
"But why do you not say something original, since you are Gud?"
"Because I am talking to you."
"You old brute!"
