Bitter Triumph

You are about to hear a romantic drama, bitter triumph, from Love Story Magazine, featuring the Love Story girl in the role of Marga Reynolds. The scene is a lake, lying blue and placid in the lazy summer sunshine.

On a diving float, a sun-brown couple stretch their bronze young limbs. The lake is calm, the sky is clear, the day serene. But Marga and Jay are having a good old-fashioned lovers quarrel. And what's more, I didn't like the way he kept you out walking on the golf course last night at the country club dance.

What if I was? When have you had a right to hold a stopwatch on me? I didn't hold a stopwatch. Everyone on the club noticed how long you were gone. And then when he came back with lipstick all over the side of his collar.

What makes you so sure it was my lipstick? A man doesn't keep a girl out walking in the moonlight for half an hour unless he... that is unless she... Yes, she. Oh, is that so?

Well, let me tell you, Jaythorn, that I stayed out in the golf course with Hal Lucas because he was asking me to marry. Oh, so he asked you to marry him? He did. Well, I call it a dirty trick, Marga, leading a man on and then throwing him over just so you can add his scalp to your collection.

Well, what makes you so sure I throw him over? Because you're in love with me. Oh, will you listen to the conceit of the new? Well, you are in love with me. Or aren't you?

Answer me. Yes, I suppose I am way, but it's because we'll will that way about each other doesn't necessarily mean I can't be nice to anybody else Oh wait a minute look here. Let's get this straight No wife of mine is going to go gallivanting around golf courses in the middle of the night
