Fourth Young Man: Hear you got out a book, Dicky. 'Gratulations!
Dick: (Stiffly) Thanks.
Fourth Young Man: (Innocently) What is it? College stories?
Dick: (More stiffly) No. Not college stories.
Fourth Young Man: Pity! Hasn't been a good book about Harvard for years.
Dick: (Touchily) Why don't you supply the lack?
Third Young Man: I think I saw a squad of guests turn the drive in a Packard just now.
Sixth Young Man: Might open a couple more bottles on the strength of that.
Third Young Man: It was the shock of my life when I heard the old man was going to have a wet wedding. Rabid prohibitionist, you know.
Fourth Young Man: (Snapping his fingers excitedly) By gad! I knew I'd forgotten something. Kept thinking it was my vest.
Dick: What was it?
Fourth Young Man: By gad! By gad!
Sixth Young Man: Here! Here! Why the tragedy?
Second Young Man: What'd you forget? The way home?
Dick: (Maliciously) He forgot the plot for his book of Harvard stories.
Fourth Young Man: No, sir, I forgot the present, by George! I forgot to buy old Anthony a present. I kept putting it off and putting it off, and by gad I've forgotten it! What'll they think?
Sixth Young Man: (Facetiously) That's probably what's been holding up the wedding.
(The Fourth Young Man looks nervously at his watch. Laughter.)
