Mr. Posket.

Oh, didn’t you?

Cis.

So I took a room at the Hotel des Princes—when I want to put a man up he goes there. You see, Guv, it’s you I’ve been considering more than myself.

Mr. Posket.

But you are a mere child.

Cis.

A fellow is just as old as he feels. I feel no end of a man. Hush, they’re coming down! I’m off to tell Wyke about the rickety four-wheeler.

Mr. Posket.

Cis, Cis! Your mother will discover I have been out.
