BELSIZE: We haven't scared you all out of the house yet, I see!
DAN: No chance!
BELSIZE: All these blood-curdlers, eh?
DAN: I should say so!
BELSIZE: No more news for me, I suppose?
DAN: No chance!
BELSIZE: Ah … too bad! Mind if I sit down?
DAN: (pointing to the sofa): Well, this is the nearest you get to comfort in this house, sir.
BELSIZE: No, thanks, this'll do…. (Sitting on a chair at the table, and indicating the cuttings) I see you keep apace of the news?
DAN: I should say so! They can't hardly wait for the latest on the case in this house, sir.
