"That makes people dislike you?"
"Yes. Other women hate my hair."
"That is a compliment, Flamby."
"But isn't it horrible? Women are nasty. I wish I were a man."
Don laughed loudly, squeezing Flamby's hand more firmly under his arm. "You would have made a deuce of a boy," he said. "I wonder if we should have been friends."
"I don't think so," replied Flamby pensively.
"Eh!" cried Don, turning to her—"why not?"
"Well you treat women so kindly, and if I were a man I should treat them so differently."
"How do you know that I treat women kindly?"
"You are very kind to me."
