Of whom? CHARLES SYLVESTER. Of nobody--of everyone. Of my past, which was rather more decent than most fellows--of my life to-day, which is a pattern for a County Councillor. REMBRANDT TEMPENNY. Poor beggar. CHARLES SYLVESTER. You're sorry for me? REMBRANDT TEMPENNY. Devilishly. To be married to a jealous woman!--what a fate. CHARLES SYLVESTER (_with a groan_). Ah! Tempenny, there was a girl I used to know when I was a bachelor--she was a model. My wife found her likeness one day after we were married. A likeness, nothing more--I thought I had destroyed it. Well, if you'd have heard the ructions she made; you'd have thought she'd found a harem. REMBRANDT TEMPENNY. |
