"Bobs, Dee is moony."
"Is she? And what is 'moony'?"
"You know she is," returned Pat, scorning to waste time on obvious definitions. "Isn't her engagement going all right?"
"So far as I can judge. She hasn't confided in me."
"Bad sign. In some girls it would be a good sign. Not in Dee," pronounced the oracular Pat with her head on one side like a considering and sagacious bird.
"Has she talked to you?"
"No; she hasn't. Bet you she will, though. Dee's a lot more chummish with me than she used to be."
"Because Connie is married. That throws Dee back on you."
"It ought to throw her back on Jimmiejams. I'm not wild about T. Jameson James, Bobs. He's rather a sob."
"What have you got against your future brother-in-law?"
