WENTWORTH. Both, Miss Herbert. GERALD. To a man who knows both, the performance seems truly astonishing. MISS FARRINGDON. I don't know anything about golf, Mr. Todd. But doing anything in one sounds rather clever. So I say hooray, too. TOMMY. I wish you'd let me teach you, Miss Farringdon. Lots of people begin when they're frightfully old. LETTY (to WENTWORTH). This is one of Tommy's polite days. GERALD. Mr. Todd's famous old-world courtesy is the talk of many a salon. MISS FARRINGDON (to TOMMY). Don't you mind them. I _am_ frightfully old. I am very proud of it. I hope you'll all live to be as old as I am. GERALD. I only hope we shall be half as nice. MISS FARRINGDON. Gerald being charming as usual. GERALD (firmly). I will also add that I hope we shall be kinder to our great-nephews than some. LETTY (putting her arm in his). Diddums! |
