Sydney. Tired of jam.

Kit. [Heavily] D’you mean you’re tired of me?

Sydney. That would be putting it crudely.

Kit. What’s got into you? I don’t know you.

Sydney. P’raps you’re beginning to.

Kit. But what have I done?

Sydney. [Flaring effectively] Well, for one thing you shouldn’t have told your father we were engaged. What girl, do you suppose, would stand it? You ask Alice.

Kit. [Flaring in reality] If you’re not jolly careful I will.

Sydney. [Egging him on] Good for you!

Kit. [Furious] And if I do I’ll ask her more than that.
