Belle. I'll pay you for it, Bill.

Bill. What'll youse pay?

Belle. Well, I wonder. A kid that's had a stepfather to beat him and no one to love him! (Puts her arm around him and kisses him gently on the cheek.)

Bill. Holy smoke! (Wonder and delight dawn on his face.) Say! I like that!

Belle. Then it's a bargain?

Bill. Sure! Put it there! (They shake hands.) Does it begin to-night?

Belle. No, I'm too tired to-night. We'll start out fresh in the morning. You must be tired too, Bill. You'd better go in and sleep. (Leads him Right.)

Bill. Say, Belle!

Belle. Well?

Bill. I like them kisses.
