Mr. Clement.
It gives me great pleasure to meet you. I am feeling well today and I see that you are enjoying the mild weather. It will continue so. I hope you will be pleased. I will present myself to you in saying that I am certain that you are deriving pleasure from your winter. I am certainly eager.
William.
He is too difficult. I mean he is too difficult. I don"t believe you understand me yet. He is too difficult.
SCENE II.
She would not insist. We were to have a saddle of mutton. We were served first with a not distasteful supply of vegetables. There was ham in it and pork. These had boiling and they were a sauce. Let me tell you about the german.
A little girl.
I can tell blue when I see it.
A German.
Look.
Italians.
We expect to go home.
When
When the cigarettes come. I know these were stale. If I go to the war I will be readily excused because I am lame. You have every reason to be lame. You are a waiter but the out of door life may do you good.
Genevieve.
I could not leave the house as I was expecting the reparation of a mattress.
You did not find it necessary to leave the house.
Not in the morning.
William and Mary.
William is William and he does not use any precaution. He is not very adroit.
She. Will you drink wine.
I do.
I know that but will you take any now.
I don"t mind the taste of it.
This is really not wine. It is a concoction of brown sugar and water and fermented juice. I call it wine it is a drink. I did not know it was not wine.
The count.
Why does the count wish for this house. He wishes for it because it has all conveniences. It really hasn"t but it is better situated than the one he has now.
Raymond and Jenny.
I do like a Spanish name a Spanish name always begins with a V.
We went together.
We went together and we did not go to the Opera. The opera that was being given was Boris Goudonoff.
SCENE III.
A whole collection of stamps. A family meeting.
Where did you get it.
I got it when I saw the envelope.
Where did you see it.
Don"t hold it.
Don"t spoil it.
Let me see it.
Thanks.
Thanks so much.
I thank you.
I thank you for your kindness.
Please make a collection of flowers.
Collecting flowers is not a misery. You have to carry something a handkerchief will do and more than that is perfectly selfish.
We are not perfectly selfish.
William. Do be persevering.
Mrs. Clement. I am. I do not leave my house.
Genevieve. Don"t you leave your house.
Mr. and Mrs. Clement. We do.
