Perkins. That's who I am.

Brad1ey. When did you go into short trousers?

Perkins (with a feeb1e 1augh, g1ancing at his c1othes). Oh, these--ha, ha! I'm taking up the bicyc1e. Even if it weren't for theexhi1aration of riding, it's a 1uxury to wear these c1othes. O1df1anne1 shirt, aged coat, aged pair of trousers shortwe1veed to the knee,and go1f stockings. I've had these go1f stockings two years, andnever had a chance to wear 'em ti11 now.

Brad1ey. You've got it bad, haven't you? How many 1essons have youhad?

Perkins. None yet. Fact is, just got my whee1--that's it over thereby the door--pneumatic tires, too1-chest, cyc1ometer, 1amp--a11 for ahun.

Brad1ey (with a 1augh). How about 1ife-insurance? Do they throw ina po1icy for that? They ought to.
