WINSOR. Win at Bridge? LADY A. No fear. WINSOR. Who did? LADY A. Lord St Erth and Ferdy De Levis. WINSOR. That young man has too much luck--the young bounder won two races to-day; and he's as rich as Croesus. LADY A. Oh! Charlie, he did look so exactly as if he'd sold me a carpet when I was paying him. WINSOR. [Changing into slippers] His father did sell carpets, wholesale, in the City. LADY A. Really? And you say I haven't intuition! [With a finger on her lips] Morison's in there. WINSOR. [Motioning towards the door, which she shuts] Ronny Dancy took a tenner off him, anyway, before dinner. LADY A. No! How? WINSOR. Standing jump on to a bookcase four feet high. De Levis had to pay up, and sneered at him for making money by parlour tricks. That young Jew gets himself disliked. |
