Man is not expected to understand

sino last night everything was as gay
as an octogenarian's birthday cake"
He stopped in the shadow of the
house and seized my arm.
You told her something about me
last night. She was all right until you
took her away and talked with her at
the casino. On the way home she was

he glared at me, angrily.
Now, Buttons! You're not going

some trouble to arrange that little
meeting last night; and here you come

Il tell you she was different. She

Now, Buttons. you are letting your
