Parbury.
Where?
Mrs. Parbury.
To send Miss Woodward to you, since you prefer her society to mine.
Parbury.
But I tell you I’m scarcely conscious of the girl’s existence; anyway, it was you who brought her here. You may remember I proposed having a male secretary.
Mrs. Parbury.
Yes; to make a companion of at my expense. You were always a man’s man! If I had had more experience I would have known that by the host of men friends you had when we married.
Parbury.
[Cheerily.] I haven’t them now, dear.
