HE. (With a smile) Why, it's hardly worth mentioning.
SHE. (Going to him and taking his hands magnanimously) Well, I forgive you.
HE. Thank you.
SHE. (Invitingly) Two kisses is not a great deal for saving my life.
HE. No?
SHE. I owe you much more than that!
HE. (Standing motionless) Really?
SHE. (With her lips half an inch from his) Really! (A pause.) Really! (He does not kiss her. She gives it up. Sits on the log, drawing him to her side.) You must tell me all about yourself. Just think: if it hadn't been for you, I would be at the bottom of the lake now. What a horrible tragedy that would have been: to die in such a way! . . . (She pauses.) It's natural that I should want to know something about the man who saved me from that. . . .
HE. (With embarrassment) I don't like to talk about myself——
SHE. (Interrupting encouragingly) You're still a young man, aren't you?
