“You are going to leave me?”

“Yes.”

“How about it, Bob?”

“Well, Dick, I’m no quitter, but for me it’s ‘goodnight, nurse.’”

“It’s no business of mine, I suppose, Dick,” Mrs. Harlan said, after a moment of awkward silence, “but we’ve been rather good friends for a long time. I wish you’d come with us.”

“And leave Lola?”

“Beat her to it; she’ll leave you, if you don’t.”

“I—I love her, Madge.”

“I know—well, good-bye, Dick; I’m going to pack.”

“Good-bye, Madge; I’ll see you again before you go.”
