"Well, you see, it was like this," said Big Boy.
"Never mind—never mind—I get it—she was late for the date and you socked her for it—ain't you the big bully?" said Evelyn, as she walked over to Pearl.
"I just lost my temper, and I didn't mean to."
"You said you had to go—well, go ahead—I want to talk to Ev."
"Will you be here when I get back?" asked Big Boy anxiously.
"Yeah—she'll be here, all right, thanks to you—scram—" answered Evelyn, as he went out the door.
"My God, this thing hurts," said Pearl, as she put her hands to her head.
"Oh, we got into an argument about last night, and he was furious, and just took a punch at me, that's all."
