A man who would tell me that I am pretty, unless he is over seventy, ought to be kicked out of the room. But a man who can't show me that he thinks me so without saying a word about it, is a lout. Now in all those matters, your friend, Mr. Finn, seems to know what he is about. In other words, he makes himself pleasant, and, therefore, one is glad to see him." "I suppose you do not mean to fall in love with him?" "Not that I know of, my dear. But when I do, I'll be sure to give you notice."
