You are! But I got over it because I soon saw you were so cold, there was no danger of any conflagration near you! Oh, I've watched your eyes often to see if any man had lighted the fires in them yet. And now I'm determined they shall be lighted. You're too cold! Thaw, dear,--not to everybody,--that would be like slushy weather, but don't keep yourself so continually so far below zero that you won't have time to strike--well--say eighty-five in the shade, when the right bit of masculine sunshine does come along! Here--with my best love! [ (Giving her a small jewelry box.) [ (GRACE kisses JINNY.) (GERTRUDE: I am the next victim, I believe!) All I've got to say to you, Miss, is, that if you don't decide pretty soon on one of the half dozen men you are flirting with disgracefully at present, they'll every one find you out and you'll have to go in for widowers. (GERTRUDE: Horrors!) Oh, I don't know! I suppose a widower is sort of broken in and would be more likely to put up with your caprices! For the sake of your charm and wit and true heart underneath it all, you dear old girl you! [ (Giving her a small jewel box.)
