“Does it always affect you like that?”
“Not always. Only when it’s funny. You see, I was thinking about Louise going to the meeting. It’s fine to have the ladies on your side, Dick.”
“Huh!” grunted Dick.
“I suppose it’s because you’re such a handsome beast. Still, you’ve got a way with you, too. If it was anyone else, now, Louise——”
“Do you want to land in the gutter?” asked Dick carelessly.
“N-no, not especially, thanks.”
“Then cut out the comedy.”
“All right. But I can keep on thinking, can’t I?”
“Yes, if you don’t do it so I can hear you. Here’s where you get out, anyway. Beat it!”
“Thank you. And good night, you old heart-breaker!”
