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.
