“Mary Jane,” said Ramona, and scratched herself.
“Marvellous!” said Mary Jane. “Ramona, will you give me a little kiss?”
“Stop that,” Eloise said to Ramona.
Ramona stopped scratching herself.
“Will you give me a little kiss, Ramona?” Mary Jane asked again.
“I don’t like to kiss people.”
Eloise snorted, and asked, “Where’s Jimmy?”
“He’s here.”
“Who’s Jimmy?” Mary Jane asked Eloise.
“Oh, God! Her beau. Goes where she goes. Does what she does. All very hoopla.”
