LILY. Whatever for? Didn’t you like Molesey’s?

TENNANT. Oh, they were good enough and all that, but I got sick of the desk. I’m going farming.

LILY. And throwing up a good situation?

TENNANT. I suppose you’d call it good.

LILY. It was so sure. You’d have been head clerk in time. I’m sure you would. It does seem such a pity.

TENNANT. Sounds a bit foolish, I expect.

LILY. Of course you must get tired of it sometimes. But to throw it up altogether! I do hope you won’t be sorry for it. Charley gets tired of it sometimes—don’t you, dear?

CHAR. [from the garden door.] Just a bit—now and then.

LILY. Everybody does I expect. It would be very nice, of course, to see other places and all that—but you can always travel in your holidays.
