MISS REED, whispering: "Oh, THAT'S funny, too!"

GRINNIDGE: "It didn't occur to you that she might feel bound to pay
you for the first half-dozen, and was embarrassed how to offer to pay
for them alone?"

MISS REED: "How he DOES go to the heart of the matter!" She presses
Miss Spaulding's hand in an ecstasy of approval.

RANSOM: "Yes, it did--afterward."

MISS REED, in a tender murmur: "Oh, POOR Oliver!"

RANSOM: "And it occurred to me that she was perfectly right in the
whole affair."

MISS REED: "Oh, how generous! how noble!"

RANSOM: "I had had a thousand opportunities, and I hadn't been man
enough to tell her that I was in love with her."

MISS REED: "How can he say it right out so bluntly? But if it's
true" -

RANSOM: "I COULDN'T speak. I was afraid of putting an end to the
affair--of frightening her--disgusting her."

MISS REED: "Oh, how little they know us, Nettie!"
