"Oh, I see," said Evelyn, as she walked to the bed on tiptoe, where Big Boy lay sleeping like a child.
"He came in at noon, and I couldn't get rid of him, or I would have come over to your place," answered Pearl, in a whisper.
"Well, I'm glad you're able to get up." She walked over to Big Boy, and pulled the covers off the bed.
"Hey, what's the big idea?" asked Big Boy as he raised up in bed.
"Shame on you," said Evelyn, mockingly, "Sitting up in bed in front of a lady, and you with no sign of any drawers on. Here, put these on while I ain't looking," throwing him the trunks of his two-piece set.
"Oke, Sister; where is Pearl?"
"Don't you hear the water running in the bathroom? Well, you know darn well I ain't in there."
"Hey, look, Sister, I'll give you a hundred bucks if you will talk for me. Look—I'm nuts about that girl—there's nothing I want as much as I do her—here's the hundred—will you do it?"
"Will I? Boy, my mouth will run from now on about you. Hell's fire—I'd talk for a bull with that much dough."
"You know I want to marry that Broad."
