TOMMY. Don't be an ass. As a matter of fact, we were discussing
something quite serious.

GERALD (to WENTWORTH). How long have you been here?

WENTWORTH. About ten minutes.

GERALD. And Tommy hasn't told you that he did the eighth in one
this morning?

WENTWORTH. He hasn't really told me yet. He's only mentioned it
once or twice in passing.

TOMMY (modestly). Well, I mean it's bound to appear in the papers,
so naturally one--

GERALD. Oh, it's a great business. Champagne will flow like water
to-night. There will also be speeches.

WENTWORTH. Which reminds me, Gerald, I have to congratulate you.

GERALD. Thank you very much. When you've seen her you'll want to do
it again.

TOMMY (looking through the window). Hallo, there's Letty.

GERALD. If you want to tell her about it, run along, Tommy.

TOMMY (moving off). I thought I'd just take her on at putting. [He
goes out.]
