Lucille
You can’t go to Europe in a life belt.
Paul
Do you know what she spent in one afternoon, yesterday? Close to four hundred dollars. He pretty near cried when he told me. And I don’t blame him. He’s too nice a kid.
Lucille
She doesn’t spend that every day.
Paul
She shouldn’t have spent it at all. You should have had more sense than to let her.
Lucille
Flaring a little.
How could I stop her? I wasn’t there!
Paul
Yes, you were! You were with her all afternoon.
Lucille
Quickly covering herself.
Oh, yes. I thought you meant the day before.
Paul
It was Sunday, the day before.
Lucille
Yah—I just mixed up, that’s all.
Paul
Anyhow, something ought to be done about it. She’s got him in debt enough.
