"You can't think how glad I am to be back! There's no street like
Broadway in the world! Now, where are you going to take me to
dinner?"
I looked at her for some moments, studying her finery, and considering
ways and means.
"The nattiest place in town," I said at last. "Wait while I put some
decent clothes on."
"Not a bit of it," she said firmly.
"They won't allow Ugly in a natty place. Besides, you can't afford it!"
So we went to the same place that we used go to in the old days when
she was hard up resting in New York between engagements.
And we enjoyed ourselves just as much as we used to; even if the
restaurant was a cheap one. Afterwards, when I had seen her home, and
we were still chattering on the pavement outside her apartment, I said:
"Well, good night, Kitty. I've come to the conclusion that you're a
better actress off the stage than on it!"
"You're getting too wise," she said, laughing. "Good night."
