Consult your memory; recall my own words when we were first informed that we had a woman for head-partner." "She was a very pretty woman when I first saw her," Mr.Engelman remarked.
"Pooh!" cried Mr.Keller.
"I didn't mean to offend you," said Mr.Engelman.

"Allow me to present you with one of my roses as a peace-offering." _"Will_ you be quiet, and let me speak ?" "My dear Keller, I am always too glad to hear you speak! You put ideas into my poor head, and my poor head lets them out, and then you put them in again.

What noble perseverance! If I live a while longer I do really think you will make a clever man of me.

Let me put the rose in your buttonhole for you.

And I say, I wish you would allow me to go on with my pipe." Mr.Keller made a gesture of resignation, and gave up his partner in despair.
