I can read your palm without looking at it, pretty lady, bubbled Polly.
gpt
A large blond gentleman with handsome blue eyes and a million dollars in his pocket is about to offer you a proposal of marriage.
human
Who Spends Your Money?
gpt
I've had my palm read before,

You don't seem to be alive to the shock I'm giving you, protested Polly.
gpt
Really, girlie, I have some big news for you. Johnny Gamble has finished the making of his million!
human
I wish that word million had never been invented! suddenly flared Constance.
gpt
I'm tired of hearing it. The very thought of it makes me ill.
human
I wouldn't care what they'd call it if it would only buy as much, returned Polly, still good-naturedly.
gpt
And when a regular man like Johnny Gamble hustles out and gets one, just so he can ask to marry you, you ought to give a perfectly vulgar exhibition of joy!
human
You have put it very nicely, responded Constance.
gpt
If it would only buy as much! Do you know that my name is seldom mentioned except in connection with a million dollars? I must either marry one man or lose a million, or marry another who has made a million for that purpose.
human
You ought to be ashamed of yourself!
