Mrs. Martineau: It all comes from your anti-Bolshevist League.
Ann: Don’t let’s talk politics.
Selina: I am going to write a song for Ninian to sing with the refrain: “I’m a red rag to the Reds, so we’re all of us red together.” It will be called the Red Pottage.
Lord William: Selina, don’t you think you could write a revue? Then Molly and I could get off some of our vulgarer jokes.
Selina: What a good idea! Then, when you want to say something really outrageous, you need only make a note of it, and we will use it in Whispers.
Mrs. Martineau: What do you say, Selina?
Selina: I am going to write a revue called Whispers as a lightning conductor for papa’s vulgarer jokes.
Ninian: Why Whispers?
Selina: Because it sounds so indiscreet. Haven’t you noticed that no one ever listens until one drops one’s voice?
