JULIA. It's marvelous how those Swedes hold on, isn't it?
JACK. The people are getting their eyes open. And when they're once open, they stay open.
JULIA. Yes. Did you see my article?
JACK. I should think I did! Julia, that was a dandy!
JULIA. Do you think so?
JACK. I do, indeed. You've made a hit. I heard a dozen people talking about it.
JULIA. Indeed?
JACK. You've come to be the champion female muck-raker of the country, I think.
[JULIA laughs.]
JACK. Why did you want to see me so specially tonight?
