Have a good time, Lou?
gpt
And how!
human
So did I! And I've got the best news yet. We fly an autogiro to Birmingham tomorrow.
gpt
Who do?
human
You and I, Lou! Our expenses are to be paid, and we get twenty-five dollars besides!
gpt
Not this baby! she said.
human
Tomorrow's Friday, Linda. I might not get back in time for the dance Saturday night. No, my dear, I'm not taking any chances.
gpt
Do you really mean that, Lou? Give up a wonderful trip like this, just to go to an old dance? You could wire Ted.
human
But I don't want to, Linda. Why, my heart'd break if I couldn't wear these new clothes I just bought.... Gaze on them! How about this cerise taffeta? Would you ever think any trimming could be so clever? It's made of feathers, you see--and look how the slippers match!
gpt
You really won't go, Lou? she repeated.
human
Even if I rush the trip?
gpt
Oh no, Linda, I couldn't possibly disappoint Ted.
