Duty! You don’t go to the police court again alone! I guess now, Æneas Posket, why you clung to a single life so long. You liked it!

Mr. Posket.

I wish I had.

Agatha Posket.

Why didn’t you marry till you were fifty?

Mr. Posket.

Perhaps I hadn’t met a widow, madam.

Agatha Posket.

Paltry excuse. You revelled in a dissolute bachelorhood!

Mr. Posket.
