So Mr. Spoffard said that he would come to call on Dorothy and I in our
compartment this afternoon and we would talk it all over, if his mother
does not seem to need him in her compartment. Because Mr. Spoffards
mother always travels with Mr. Spoffard and he never does anything
unless he tells his mother all about it, and asks his mother if he
ought to. So he told me that that is the reason he has never got
married, because his mother does not think that all of the flappers we
seem to have nowadays are what a young man ought to marry when a young
man is full of so many morals as Mr. Spoffard seems to be full of. So I
told Mr. Spoffard that I really felt just like his mother feels about
all of the flappers because I am an old fashioned girl.
So then I got to worrying about Dorothy quite a lot because Dorothy is
really not so old-fashioned and she might say something in front of Mr.
Spoffard that might make Mr. Spoffard wonder what such an old-fashioned
girl as I was doing with such a girl as Dorothy. So I told him how I
was having quite a hard time reforming Dorothy and I would like to have
him meet Dorothy so he could tell me if he really thinks I am wasting
quite a lot of time trying to reform a girl like Dorothy. So then he
had to go to his mother. So I really hope that Dorothy will act more
reformed than she usually acts in front of Mr. Spoffard.
Well Mr. Spoffard just left our compartment so he really came to pay a
call on us after all. So Mr. Spoffard told us all about his mother and
I was really very very intreeged because if Mr. Spoffard and I become
friendly he is the kind of a gentleman that always wants a girl to meet
his mother. I mean if a girl gets to know what kind of a mother a
gentlemans mother is like, she really knows more what kind of a
conversation to use on a gentleman’s mother when she meets her. Because
a girl like I is really always on the verge of meeting gentlemen’s
mothers. But such an unrefined girl as Dorothy is really not the kind
of a girl that ever meets gentlemens mothers.
