He was at the Insurance banquet where you spoke night before last, and he said your remarks we.re the wittiest he had ever heard. He told me you completely outclassed all the other speakers. But I'll tell him that he is not to call any more. I can find some way of doing so without hurting his feelings.” “Well, let the matter drift along for the present. Maybe I’ll like him when I get better acquainted with him."
