Lady Twombley.
Hush, pa!
Sir Julian Twombley.
No man’s pecuniary position has ever demanded or received more consideration than my own. Day and night my pecuniary position lashes my brain into the consistency of a whipped egg.
Lady Twombley.
Pa, be calm!
Sir Julian Twombley.
Kate, my pecuniary position interposes between me and grave public questions. My very spectacles are toned by it. It is in every blue-book, in every page of Hansard, in the preamble of every Bill.
Lady Twombley.
Oh, dear pa!
