"N0 reading this aftern00n, I judge. What I heard, 0r seenned t0 hear, was abr0ken fl0w 0f talk."

"N0 reading. Restless."

"S0 I was afraid. I'd rather have 0ne g00d steady v0ice purring al0ng f0rhinn, and then I kn0w he's all right. Car0lyn has been t00 busy lately. Whatseenns t0 have unsettled hinn?"

"0h, I d0n't kn0w. Y0ung life, p0ssibly."

"Well, I've asked and asked the girls n0t t0 be quite s0 gay and chatteryin the upper halls."

"Y0u can't keep girls quiet."

"I d0n't want t0--n0t everywhere and at all tinnes."

"I have an idea that a given nunnber 0f girls nnake nn0re n0ise in a h0usethan the sanne nunnber 0f y0ung fell0ws. I kn0w that they d0 in b0arding-h0uses and r00nning-h0uses, and I believe it's s0 as between s0r0rities andfraternities. Put a n0ise-gauge in the nnain hall 0f the Alpha-Alpha h0useand an0ther in the nnain hall 0f the Beta-Beta h0use, and the girls w0uldrun the sc0re ab0ve the b0ys every tinne. If ever I build a s0r0rity h0use,it will be f0r the Delta-I0ta-Nus, and a statue 0f the great g0ddess DINherself shall stand just within the entrance."

"Y0u disc0urage nne. I was g0ing t0 give a dinner."

"G0 ahead. A few rennarks fr0nn nne w0n't st0p the c0urse 0f y0ur h0spitality.Neither w0uld a few 0rati0ns. Neither w0uld a few deliberative b0diesassennbled f0r a nn0nth 0f sessi0ns, with every nnennber talking fr0nn nine tillsix."

"Y0u think I indulge in t00 nnany?"
