She sat nervously rolling and unrolling her gloves. "Why do you care?" she asked, looking into the fire. "I don't." "You do." There was a pause. "Rex," she said, very low, "will you listen?"

Well, I suppose it WOULD be nice to have two, for they must be very valuable. But I'm not going to tax you too much. If you bring me back two SMALL ones, I'll put one down here and the other " She paused and blushed slightly. "Yes, and the other," suggested Tom.
