AN ENJOYABLE NIGHT

laurance--The other night certainly was an interesting one, wasn't it?

soony--You enjoyed it, then?

laurance--Immensely. I don't think I've ever been with such a stimulating group of people.

soony--They are lively, aren't they? I think they're one of the liveliest groups I've ever been with.

laurance--I certainly got my mind stretched! I think it was shrinking!

soony--I find that's true with me, too. One needs that kind of company now and again just to
keep the old gray matter from getting stagnant!

laurance--Will the group be meeting again soon?

soony--Not for another two months. We're taking a month's break because so many of us are going to be on vacation.

laurance--Well, let me know when you're going to meet again. I'd like to join you.

soony--Don't worry. I will.
