　　Dialogue

　　Mark: What did he do?

　　Rose: He told my boyfriend that I had affairs with several men, which, of course,

　　made my boy friend very suspicious of me.

　　Mark: I didn't believe he would shoot from the hip like that! It was very vicious of him. You must not put up with him.

　　Rose: Of course not! He will soon know what he deserves!
