"I didn't mean you, old chap," said George, with a penitence
which showed that he had meant me. "Oh, all right, all right," said I. "But when a man's really far gone there's nothing else in the world but it." "That seems to me not to be a healthy condition," said I. "Healthy? Oh, you old idiot, Sam! Who's talking of health? Now, only last night I met her at a dance. I had five dances with her--talked to her half the evening, in fact. Well, you'd think that would last some time, wouldn't you?" "I should certainly have supposed so," I assented. "So it would with most chaps, I dare say, but with me--confound it, I feel as if I hadn't seen her for six months!" "But, my dear George, that's surely rather absurd? As you tell me, you spent a long while with the young person--" "The--young person!" "You've not told me her name, you see." "No, and I shan't. I wonder if she'll be at the Musgraves' tonight!" |
