She wanted to exclaim over the rugs and chairs; John wanted to talk. They wandered through the perfect rooms, laughing like happy children. "I came down to get some things for to-morrow Teddy needs a straw hat, if we're really going to Coney" Martie found his steady look a little confusing. "You like my pongee, and my four-dollar hat?" she said.
"Assuming that the affair was as you describe, Darrin," stated the legal man at last, "I wish to thank you for teaching the young man what must have been a needed lesson." When Dave learned from Dick, a little later, the story of Fred's unintentional purchase of a four-dollar book, there was a big laugh.
About all the two watch-trading Americans knew of French was "Oui! Oui!" and they used this every minute.

"Leon, baby, stop hollering. Papa will go back and get the fiddle for you now before supper. See, mamma's got money here in her waist "
