Upon my word I don't see why you should think it impossible that Sir Leslie should come here just for the sake of improving an acquaintance which he found pleasant.

That's what he gave me to understand, and he put it very nicely too!" "I do not think that Sir Leslie is that sort of man, mother." "And I don't see how you know anything about it," was the sharp response.
"Ring the bell, please.

I want to speak to Mary about my skirt." "You mean to dine with him then, mother ?" she asked, crossing the room towards the bell.
"Of course! I've accepted.

To-night and as often as he chooses to ask me.
Now don't upset me, please.

I want to look my best to-night, and if I get angry my hair goes all out of curl." The girl went back to her typewriter.
