everything, see? It wouldn't be right to leave them to take the whole rent and everything and they'd be left with a room more than they need and they'd have to pay for it."
"They could rent it."
"Maybe they'd get somebody and maybe they wouldn't. Besides they mightn't like to have somebody they didn't know at all."
"How would this be? Suppose you give them one-third of the rent for the rest of the lease's run?"
"No, I don't think they'd take it if I wasn't getting what I was paying for. They're not like that."
"Well, do you mean you're going to throw me over and give up all I offered you so that you can help those damn girls?"
"If I stayed with them wouldn't you take me bye-byes no more?"
"Sure, but you beat the Dutch, Lil. I don't understand you. Say, you could have a little car of your own."
"I heard you the first time."
"Well, gee, you are funny."
"Maybe it's because I'm so sleepy. Let me go up now. Will I see you tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"Good night."
"Give me a kiss, will you?"
"A small one."
"Don't you love me?"
"With all my heart and soul and then some." She was laughing again.
"Good night."
