Young Wife

Do you remember the ball at the Manufacturers’ Club?

Young Man

Do I remember it…? I sat beside you through the whole supper—quite close to you. Your husband had champagne…

Young Wife

(Looks at him with a hurt expression)

Young Man

I meant to speak only of the champagne. Emma, would you like a glass of cognac?

Young Wife

Only a drop, but first give me a glass of water.
