" I won't be called names out of Shake- 

 speare. My name is Kate." 



" But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom, 

 Kate of Kate-Hall, my super dainty Kate, 

 For dainties are all cates, and, therefore, Kate, 

 Take this of me, Kate of my consolation." 



66 Now, Willie, I won't be teased. It is very 

 unfair of you. And I thought we were going 

 to be so so agreeable to each other. You 

 are always vexing me." 



"And you are always tempting me to 

 make you pretend to be annoyed, in order 

 that I might have the pleasure of seeing you 

 pout." 



" Oh, dear me ! What a bewildering sen- 

 tence. It goes round and round, until it 

 seems to lose its head or its meaning." 



" Of course I intended it for a compliment." 



" You should never attempt a thing of the 

 kind. You do it very awkwardly." 



" Not ' when I go to books for assistance. 

 Give me my Shakespeare and I'll show you 

 what you are." 



" You will have an excellent opportunity for 

 paying compliments this evening."
