It's enough to destroy one's faith, isn't it?

Oh, I haven't any faith left in anyone.

I know just how you feel.

What do you mean?

You didn't happen to mention in any of your letters what a terrible rainy spell they were having in Florida. The papers were full of it.

Well, I can explain that, Lucy.

You can?

And don't try to change the subject. You think a great offense is a great defense. Don't try to justify your behavior by insinuating things about me.

But I haven't any behavior to justify. I've just been unlucky, that's all. You've come home and caught me in a truth and it seems there's nothing less logical than the truth.

Hmm, a philosopher, huh?

You don't believe me.

Oh, how can I believe you? The car broke down. People stopped believing that one before cars stopped breaking down.

Well, his car's very old.

Well, so's his story.
