Quote context

[...]

- Oh, well, this is ghastly.

- I'm sorry, Es. I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again.

- Oh, well, you didn't do it on purpose.

- Well, I guess there's nothing else to say. Unless you want to do something else tonight.

- No, thank you. I think I'll stay home and do some packing. You know, we're leaving St. Louis in a few days.

- I know.

- And this is a fine going-away present I'm giving you for Christmas.

- I'll bet you really hate me.

- Oh, no, John, I don't hate you. I just hate basketball.

- Es, darling, what is it? What's the matter?

- Nothing. I just wish I were dead, that's all.

- Did something happen with John?

- He can't take me to the dance.

- Why not?

- His father's suit's locked up in the tailor's.
