Buried Alive: A Tale of These Days

CHAPTER III
28/42

No tea.

Thanks to that I've lost nearly a stone in six months.

You know I _was_ getting enormous.
_Man_: Let me put _that_ in, eh?
_Woman_: Just try, and see what happens to you! _Man_: Well, shall we say a lettuce salad, and a Perrier and soda?
I'm dieting, too.
_Waiter_: Lettuce salad, and a Perrier and soda?
Yes, sir.
_Woman_: You aren't very gay.
_Man_: Gay! You don't know all the yearnings of my soul.

Don't imagine that because I'm a special of the _Record_ I haven't got a soul.
_Woman_: I suppose you've been reading that book, Omar Khayyam, that every one's talking about.

Isn't that what it's called?
_Man_: Has Omar Khayyam reached the theatrical world?
Well, there's no doubt the earth does move, after all.
_Woman_: A little more soda, please.
