"Pooh!" says Miss Vee. "The young man was only taking my part."
"So?" sneers Bobbie. "I congratulate you on your new champion."
"He acts more like a gentleman than you do, at any rate!" she fires back at him.
"Does he?" says Bobby. "Then why don't you get him for a partner?"
"G'WAN!" SAYS I, "IT'S A FAIR SWAP."
"If you don't ask me for this next waltz, I will," says she, tossin' up her chin.
"What a bluff!" says Bobby. "Well, Miss Vee, I'm not going to ask you. Now!"
Say, it was gettin' more or less personal by that time, and I was wonderin' just how the young lady was goin' to back out of the proposition that had been put up to her, when the first thing I know she's marchin' straight over to where I was.
