take great interest in you. II you go |
out at night she II be awake when you |
get home, and then she'll tell you all
about yourself, and m ore too. or course |
what kept you out so late, and will tell |
you; yet, right after she gets through |
telling you that, she will ask you where |
you have been and what kept you out so
late. And after you tell her, and she
won't believe you, you mustn't mind |
that and If, after going to bed, she says
she hasn't closed her eyes the whole
night, and then keeps up the matinee
two hours longer and won't 60 to sleep
when she has chance, you mustn't |
mind that, either; it's her nature"
