"Ah, I don't believe that," said Miss Graham.
"Believe what?"
"That the Americans always talk about themselves."
"I'm not sure she meant that. You never can tell what a person means by what he says—or she."
"How shocking!".
"Perhaps the French lady meant that we always talk about other people. That's in the key of personality too."
"But I don't believe we do," said Miss Graham. "At any rate, she was talking about us, then."
"Oh, she accounted for that by saying there was a large American colony in Paris, who had corrupted the French, and taught them our pernicious habit of introspection."
"Do you think we're very introspective?"
"Do you?"
