Act III

Fred
Yes. I always thought I’d save my money, if I ever got any.
Maxie
You picked out a thrifty girl, all right.
Fred
I kind of get thinking sometimes, maybe a man like I that’s just breaking in, maybe he shouldn’t get married so soon, especially a woman that’s got to have so many clothes. Sometimes I think it would be better if I hadn’t got engaged.
Maxie
Feeling his way.
I read of a case once, in Michigan, where a man was engaged to a girl and didn’t marry her.
Fred
I didn’t read that. Have you got the clippings?
Maxie
No. But my memory’s pretty good. For instance, I remember a mighty nice little girl that was here to see you one time. I even remember her name⁠—Miss Baker.
