You’re a wonderful dancer… and I can tell a lot about a boy by dancing with him. Some boys, even though they’re very smart, or very successful in some other way, when they take a girl in their arms to dance, they’re sort of awkward and a girl feels sort of uncomfortable.
[...]
I mean — you say all sorts of witty things, and I just love listening to you talk. And you’re strong, and — you’re very good-looking. I bet Miss Sydney thought so, too, or she wouldn’t have said those things.

Inge, William. Four Plays. Grove Press, New York, NY. 1958. pp. 125-126.
