Condy, let's do this lots."

"Do what?"

"Go round to queer little, interesting little places. We've had a
glorious time to-day, haven't we?--and we haven't been talked out
once.

"As we were last night, for instance," he hazarded.

"I THOUGHT you felt it, the same as I did. It WAS a bit awful
wasn't it?"

"It was."

"From now on, let's make a resolution. I know you've had a good
time to-day. Haven't you had a better time than if you had gone
to the Tea?'"

"Well, RATHER. I don't know when I've had a better, jollier
afternoon."

"Well, now, we're going to try to have lots more good times, but
just as chums. We've tried the other, and it failed. Now be
sincere; didn't it fail?"

"It worked out. It DID work out."

"Now from this time on, no more foolishness. We'll just be
chums."
