B. M. Well, if I were interested in the Little Review I’d
help you.
L. R. Which is to say you’re not successful in your flair
either.
B. M. How do you make that?
L. R. If you had a flair you’d recognize another good one
when you saw it.
B. M. I’ll grant yours is interesting. But it can never be
self-supporting.
L. R. Discovered! That’s why we asked you to help.
B. M. But you’ve got to be keen about a thing. I’m not
keen about the Little Review.
L. R. Why not be?
B. M. But I’m not really keen about anything.
L. R. We knew you were an unhappy man before we
talked to you. Hence this appeal to your unem
ployed imagination... .
B. M. Well, I confess I haven’t got any imagination....
L. R. We knew that too. Make it self-supporting!
B. M. Make what self-supporting?
L. R. Your lack of imagination.
