`` Do you not think it strange , Nanna , that we who have been acquainted but so short a season , should think so much of each other ? '' `` It is perfectly natural that we should . Persons in fashionable society can not become so well acquainted with each other as we could in one hour . At first we met each other every evening , then every morning and evening , and at length -- '' `` And at length morning , noon and night ! '' interrupted Gottlieb , with a smile . `` In truth , Nanna , you are right , for if our every meeting was so divided that we should be together but once each week , our acquaintance would have been prolonged for an entire year . '' `` O , much longer than that even , '' said Nanna , joining in Gottlieb 's laugh .
