Betty. I regret to say that the candidate doesn’t know her letters. She hasn’t given the definition of A yet.
Dorothy. Well, what is the definition of A?

Betty. I am overcome at the thought of such ignorance. Miss Atherton may finish the kittychasm.
Maude. Can you do arithmetic? Add one cat, two dogs, three bears and a lion.
Dorothy. Seven animals.
Maude. Wrong.
Dorothy. One, then—the lion.
