“Your name is Sally Scott?” said a girl in a WAVES uniform.
“That’s right,” said Sally.
“Come into my parlor,” the girl said, smiling, broadly and indicating a small booth furnished with two chairs and a narrow table.
“‘Said the spider to the fly.’” Sally returned the smile as she finished the quotation..
“Oh! It’s not nearly as bad as that,” said the blonde examiner. “The fly did not escape. You will, I am sure.”
“Six months after the war is over.” Sally did not smile.
“Yes, that sounds a bit serious, doesn’t it?”
“It certainly does,” Sally agreed.
“It’s nice to have a sense of humor and also a serious side,” said the examiner. “We like them that way. You should get on well.”
“Thanks. I’m glad you think so.”
