Grice, You made a mistake last night. Canada is not to the north of Alaska.
Tarver. Did I say it was? (Phyllis shakes her head. Looks toward Phyllis) Oh, how awful!
Grice. Tarver, you are dining with me to-night.
Tarver. Yes, sir.
Grice. Bring your Atlas. We will go slowly through the countries of the world in my study afterwards.
Phyllis. (Rises quickly) Oh, but you can't, Admiral. There's the Philharmonic concert after your dinner party, and we all have to go to it.
Tarver. Yes, and my opponent is going to be there.
Phyllis. If Bobby were late, it would produce a bad impression.
Grice. Then come before dinner.
Tarver. (Rising) But, Admiral, I haven't written a word of my election speech yet except "Gentlemen" and that's a lie.
