DOMINIC. That’s the only way, isn’t it, sir?
LATIMER. Great hopes, great hopes.
DOMINIC (handing him “The Times”). The paper, sir.
LATIMER. Thank you. (He looks at the front page). Any one married this morning? Dear me, quite a lot. One, two, three, four ... ten. Ten! Twenty happy people, Dominic!
DOMINIC. Let us hope so, sir.
LATIMER. Let us hope so.... By the way, how was his lordship this morning?
DOMINIC. A little depressed, sir.
LATIMER. Ah!
DOMINIC. There seems to have been some misunderstanding [128]about his luggage. A little carelessness on the part of somebody, I imagine, sir.
LATIMER. Dear me! Didn’t it come with him?
