"Reddy, you are saved," he announced, leading Nora O'Malley into the room.

"Thank your gentle preserver, Miss O'Malley." "You mean you are saved," corrected Reddy with a derisive grin.
"All the same, all the same," retorted Hippy airily.

"I am saved because you are saved, and you are saved because I am saved.

We are both saved this time, aren't we, Grace ?" "Yes, I forbid either one of you to usher the other out," laughed Grace.
"There, Reddy, you heard!" exclaimed Hippy.

"Now heed." "Have you seen Jessica this morning, Nora ?" asked Reddy, answering Hippy's admonition with a withering look.
"She will be here later," replied Nora.
