SHE--Goodness gracious! there he is on the line again!
HE--I beg your pardon. I'll retire gracefully.
SHE--Don't apologize. You could not help it.
HE--I don't like to be a "butter-in," don't you know?
SHE--I hope you got the doctor all right last night. I'd be so sorry if
my foolish delay caused you any trouble.
HE--Thank you, I got him all right.
EVELYN (at the other end)--I'll call you some other time, Genevieve.
HE--No; let me get off this time.
SHE (after a pause)--I wonder if he has really gone.
EVELYN--How did you find out who he was? Go on, tell me.
SHE--I'm afraid he may be listening.
EVELYN--Do you think he'd do that deliberately?
SHE--Certainly, I don't. I think he must be just fine. Jack Smallwood
says he's a stunning-looking fellow. I'm just crazy to see him.
EVELYN--Did you ask Jack Smallwood about him?
SHE--Why, of course, you goose! They live in the same block.
EVELYN--You're getting on famously, Genevieve.
SHE--That's another slam, Evelyn. You're just jealous, that's what the
matter with you. Next time I call you up you'll know it.
EVELYN--I'm sorry, Genevieve. I was only teasing you.
SHE--Well, I can't stand for it. I'll forgive you, though. Say, are you
going to see "Madam Butterfly"? You don't know? Well, I'm going tomorrow
night with Jack. He asked me today when I called him up about the other.
He has got seats in the second row. I'm going to put on all my best
regalia. No, not the blue. A pink chiffon. You've never seen it. It's a
beauty. Well, goodbye. See you Friday.
