MARIAN

Sh! Don't turn round!

FRED

What's up?

MARIAN

_Him!_

FRED

Him who?

MARIAN

_George!_

FRED

Good Lord! Well, don't mind _him_. He hasn't got anything on you now.

You're _mine_.

MARIAN

Sure I am. He isn't looking. He's with a woman. By jingo! It's that millinery kid!

FRED

What millinery kid? Besides, what difference does it make? Let him have a hundred, if he wants 'em. _We're_ happy.

MARIAN

The nerve of him! I knew it was her right along. He tried to throw a bluff it was some swell. I'll bet he paid good for those clothes!

FRED

Oh, come on! What'll you have? Besides, she might have made the clothes herself.

MARIAN

Made 'em herself! Say, a fine lot you know about ladies' gowns! That came from the Avenue, straight.

FRED

Well, what if it did? I'll get you a better one, you just wait.

MARIAN

Sh! He's looking over here!

FRED

Hm! Look at me and you won't see him.

MARIAN

The nerve!

FRED

What's he done?

MARIAN

He smiled right over like nothing had ever happened. I'll bet he's going to say something mean about me. Oh!

FRED

Let's change our seats. I'm hungry!

MARIAN

Change nothing! Catch me giving him a laugh like that! I could tell her things, the young--There, now _she's_ looking!

FRED

What if she is? Say, look here--

MARIAN

He's getting up! Well, of all the bra.s.s!

FRED

What?

MARIAN

He's coming over here!

FRED

He is! Don't you say a word. I'll take _him_ on!
