DIALOG 36

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.
