The Philosopher. Certainly, madam. What about?
The Lady. About Truth.
The Philosopher. Dear, dear!
The Lady. Whom are you addressing?
The Philosopher. I beg your pardon!—It was only an exclamation of surprise. It has been so long since anybody has talked to me about Truth. How quaint and refreshing!
The Lady. Please do not be frivolous.
The Philosopher. I am sorry—but really, it is amusing. Tell me, to which school do you belong?
The Lady. To the Julia Richmond High School, if you must know—though I don’t see what that has to do with Truth.
The Philosopher. Oh! You mean you are a school-teacher!
The Lady. Certainly. Doesn’t that suit you?
