Lady John (unconvinced). Oh?

Farn. Does she come every week-end?

Lady John. Whenever we can get her to. But we've only known her a couple of months.

Farn. And I have only known her three weeks! Lady John, I've come to ask you to help me.

Lady John (quickly). With Miss Levering? I can't do it!

Farn. No, no—all that's no good. She only laughs.

Lady John (relieved). Ah!—she looks upon you as a boy.

Farn (firing up). Such rot! What do you think she said to me in London the other day?

Lady John. That she was four years older than you?
