Gerald! will you kiss me?
GERALD [_kisses her_].
How many times does that make?
MARGERY.
Only three this morning. You used to like kissing me.
GERALD.
Yes, dear, but----
MARGERY.
What?
GERALD.
This isn't writing my book.
MARGERY.
No, but it's being happy, and that's worth all the books that ever were written.
GERALD.
Yes--being happy--that's the great thing.
[_Sighs._
MARGERY.
Why do you sigh?
GERALD.
Did I sigh?
[_Smiling._
MARGERY.
Yes.
GERALD.
I didn't know I sighed. Writing's hard work.
MARGERY.
Then put the book away! [_Thrusts the MS. aside._] I've such news for you!
GERALD.
News?
MARGERY.
Such good news. Guess what it is. I'll give you three tries.
GERALD [_deprecatingly_].
Margery!
MARGERY.
You'll never guess!
GERALD.
Then what's the use of trying?
MARGERY.
Because I want you to guess wrong.
GERALD.
I shan't do that!
MARGERY.
You will! I'm sure you will!
GERALD.
I'm sure I shan't, because I am not going to guess at all.
MARGERY [_grimaces_].
Cross again! You'd better not be, or you know the penalty!
GERALD.
Come! what is the good news?
MARGERY.
