MISS GALBRAITH: "Don't WHAT?"

MR. RICHARDS: "Fib."

MISS GALBRAITH: "Not for worlds!"

MR. RICHARDS: "How did you know I was in this car?"

MISS GALBRAITH: "Must I? I thought I saw you through the window;
and then I made sure it was you when I went to pin my veil on,--I saw
you in the mirror."

MR. RICHARDS, after a little silence: "Miss Galbraith, do you want
to know what YOU are?"

MISS GALBRAITH, softly: "Yes, Allen."

MR. RICHARDS: "You're a humbug!"

MISS GALBRAITH, springing from her seat, and confronting him. "So
are you! You pretended to be asleep!"

MR. RICHARDS: "I--I--I was taken by surprise. I had to take time to
think."

MISS GALBRAITH: "So did I."

MR. RICHARDS: "And you thought it would be a good plan to get your
polonaise caught in the window?"
