"About his having the nerve to ask you to feed the monkeys and to lunch with him." Miss Flagg interrupted with a gasping intake of her breath.
"Oh!" she said softly.

"So-so you told him that, did you?
And--what else did you tell him ?" "Only what you told us--that he said 'the day could not begin too soon'; that he said he wouldn't let you be a manicure and wash the hands of men who weren't fit to wash the streets you walked on." There was a pause.
"Did I tell you he said that ?" breathed Anita Flagg.
"You know you did," said Holworthy.
There was another pause.
"I must have been mad!" said the girl.
There was a longer pause and Holworthy shifted uneasily.
"I'm afraid you are angry," he ventured.
"Angry!" exclaimed Miss Flagg.

"I should say I was angry, but not with you.

I'm very much pleased with you.

At the end of the act I'm going to let you take me out into the lobby." With his arms tightly folded, Sam sat staring unhappily at the stage and seeing nothing.
