Janet. You aren't getting tired—
Carve. My sweet child, what's the matter with you?
Janet. Nothing, nothing. Only to-day's the second anniversary of our wedding—and you've—you've said nothing about it.
Carve. (After a shocked paused.) And I forgot it last year, didn't I? I shall be forgetting my dinner next.
Janet. Oh no, you won't!
Carve. And yet all last week I was thinking about this most important day, and telling myself I must remember it.
Janet. Very easy to say that. But how can you prove it?
Carve. Well, it does just happen that the proof is behind the sideboard.
Janet. A present?
Carve. A present. It was all ready and waiting five days ago.
