Janet. (Stiffly.) So you've not been to sleep either?
Carve. (Stiffly.) Oh yes; had an excellent night in this chair.
Janet. (Going to fire.) Now, you're only boasting. If you've had such an excellent night (imitating him), who's kept up such an excellent fire?
Carve. (Lamely.) Well, of course I looked after it now and then. I didn't want to perish in my solitude.
Janet. Then why didn't you come to bed, great baby?
Carve. (Sitting up with solemnity.) Janet, we are a pair of great babies to have quarrelled like that,—especially at bedtime.
Janet. (Simply.) Quarrelled?
Carve. Well, didn't we?
Janet. I didn't. I agreed with everything you said.
Carve. What did you agree with? I should like to know.
