"Come along. I want to talk to you about my future."
"I shall certainly do nothing of the kind," said Ann, rising. She went with him to the door. "Teddy would never forgive me." She got into the cab. "It's only because you have appealed to me to help you discuss your future," she said, as they drove off. "Nothing else would have induced me . . ."
"I know," said Jimmy. "I felt that I could rely on your womanly sympathy. Where shall we go?"
"Where do you want to go? Oh, I forget that you have never been in New York before. By the way, what are your impressions of our glorious country?"
"Most gratifying, if only I could get a job."
"Tell him to drive to Delmonico's. It's just around the corner on Forty-fourth Street."
"There are some things round the corner, then?"
"That sounds cryptic. What do you mean."
"You've forgotten our conversation that night on the ship. You refused to admit the existence of wonderful things just round the corner. You said some very regrettable things that night. About love, if you remember."
"You can't be going to talk about love at one o'clock in the afternoon! Talk about your future."
