〃No; darling。 I only want you to have enough rank so that we're admitted to the better restaurants。〃
〃That's just the rank I have。〃
〃You have a splendid rank。 I don't want you to have any more rank。 It might go to your head。 Oh; darling; I'm awfully glad you're not conceited。 I'd have married you even if you were conceited but it's very restful to have a husband who's not conceited。〃

〃Mr。 and Mrs。 Meyers。〃

〃He's supposed to have been in the penitentiary at home。 They let him out to die。〃

〃She's bringing some things here。〃
〃She brings splendid things。 Were you her dear boy?〃
〃One of them。〃
〃You are all her dear boys;〃 Catherine said。 〃She prefers the dear boys。 Listen to it rain。〃
〃It's raining hard。〃
〃And you'll always love me; won't you?〃
