lois: Well, will you hurry up?
Julie: Yes. (After a pause) I wait till the water gets tepid
and then I let in more hot.
lois: (Sarcastically) How interesting!
Julie: 'Member when we used to play "soapo"?
lois: Yes—and ten years old. I'm really quite surprised that
you don't play it still.
Julie: I do. I'm going to in a minute.
lois: Silly game.
Julie: (Warmly) No, it isn't. It's good for the nerves. I'll
bet you've forgotten how to play it.
lois: (Defiantly) No, I haven't. You—you get the tub all
full of soapsuds and then you get up on the edge and slide
down.
Julie: (Shaking her head scornfully) Huh! That's only part of
it. You've got to slide down without touching your hands
or feet——
lois: (Impatiently) Oh, Lord! What do I care? I wish we'd
either stop coming here in the summer or else get a house
with two bath-tubs.
Julie: You can buy yourself a little tin one, or use the
hose——
