MINNIE. Have you ever mentioned it to Professor Yarb? I'm sure----

HERBERT. Yes, I told him about them, and last summer I sent him a box.

He analyzed them and is as much mystified as I. He's going to write a

paper on the subject for this year's meeting of the American Society.

MINNIE. How I should love to see some! I wonder if it would be too much

trouble for you to send me a few; just one or two. You have some

pressed, doubtless. I'd like to take a hand in solving the riddle. I

intend to keep up with my botany, no matter where or what I teach,

finally.

HERBERT [_joyfully_]. Do you? Do you, really?

MINNIE [_earnestly_]. I do indeed.
