Tell me everything that you've been doing and saying and thinking.
She. Doing little, saying less, and thinking a great deal. I've hardly been out at all. He. That was wrong of you. You haven't been moping? She. Not very much. Can you wonder that I'm disinclined for amusement? He. Frankly, I do. Where was the difficulty? She. In this only. The more people I know and the more I'm known here, the wider spread will be the news of the crash when it comes. I don't like that. He. Nonsense. We shall be out of it. She. You think so? He. I'm sure of it, if there is any power in steam or horse-flesh to carry us away. Ha! ha! She. And the fun of the situation comes in where, my Lancelot? He. Nowhere, Guinevere. I was only thinking of something. She. They say men have a keener sense of humour than women. Now I was thinking of the scandal. |
