Hello, George. Hello, Emily. What'll you have? Why, Emily Webb, what you been crying about?
Hello, Stew, how are you? Good afternoon, Mrs. Slocum.
Well, now! You take a drink of water, Emily/ You look all shook up. I tell you, you've got to look both ways before you cross Main Street these days.
She just git an awful scare, Mr. Morgan. She almost got run over by that hardware-store wagon.
I'll have a strawberry phosphate, thank you, Mr. Morgan
No, no, Emily. Have an ice-cream soda with me. Two strawberry ice-cream sodas, Mr. Morgan
Two strawberry ice-cream sodas, yes sir. Yes, sir.
They're so expensive
There they are. Enjoy 'em.
N-no.
No, no, don't you think of that. We're celebration our election. And then do you know what else I'm celebrating?
George, please don't think of that. I don't know why I said it. It's not true. You're-
I'm celebrating because I've got a friend who tells me all the things that ought to be told me.
No, Emily, you stick to it. I'm glad you spoke to me like you did. But you'll see: I'm going to change so quick you bet I'm going to change. And, Emily, I want to ask you a favor
I certainly will. I certainly will, George.... It certainly seems like being away three years you'd get out of touch with things. Maybe letters from Grover's Corners wouldn't be so interesting after a while.
Emily, if I go away to State Agriculture College next year, will you write me a letter once in a while?
