GILBEY. [pointing to Mrs Gilbey] Theres Mr Bobby's parent. I disown him. JUGGINS. Yes, sir. [He presents the salver to Mrs Gilbey]. MRS GILBEY. You mustnt mind what your master says, Juggins: he doesnt mean it. [She takes the card and reads it]. Well, I never! GILBEY. Whats up now? MRS GILBEY. [reading] "Miss D. Delaney. Darling Dora." Just like that--in brackets. What sort of person, Juggins? GILBEY. Whats her address? MRS GILBEY. The West Circular Road. Is that a respectable address, Juggins? JUGGINS. A great many most respectable people live in the West Circular Road, madam; but the address is not a guarantee of respectability. GILBEY. So it's come to that with him, has it? MRS GILBEY. Dont jump to conclusions, Rob. How do you know? [To Juggins] Is she a lady, Juggins? You know what I mean. JUGGINS. In the sense in which you are using the word, no, madam. |
