Just a minute, Betty Lee. Are you rushing off to catch a car this time?
gpt
No, indeed. I've all the time in the world--not even anything of the G. A. A. this afternoon.

Then perhaps you can come along with me and some of the other girls and have dinner down town. Lucia is going, and perhaps we can get Carolyn and Peggy.

I couldn't do that, Marcella, but thank you so much for asking me. I have to go home.
human
Oh, I could take you home to dress. The car is out here this time. But I'll not urge you if you have other things on hand for tonight. I think you know what I want to see you about. You said something sweet about Kappa Upsilon yesterday, so I've been hoping that you would be quite ready to say yes about joining us. What do you think?
gpt
Do you mean that you are asking me to join?
human
Just that.

It is so good of you, Marcella. I did think about it for I thought that you would scarcely have said that to me if you hadn't meant something of the kind. And it would look so good to be in anything that you are in. I've enjoyed knowing you so much!
