PEMBURY. And got it, if I know my Kate. (Carelessly) What did he take from you?
LADY PEMBURY (with a wistful little sigh). Yes; he took something from me. Not very much, I think. But just—something. (She takes his arm, leads him to the sofa, and says affectionately) And now tell me all that you've been doing this morning.
(So he begins to tell her—just as he has told her a thousand times before. . . . But it isn't quite the same)
