How awfully good of you to ask me for Friday. I presume we are dining at your house and not at a stuffy restaurant. May I be very frank and ask you what play you are planning to see? Might I also inquire if you are going in boxes or seats, and if you expect me for supper afterwards?
On hearing from you, I hope to be able to arrange the matter to your entire satisfaction.
My servant will wait for your reply.
Sincerely yours,
Reginald Goold.
P. S.—How many are coming, and who are they? Are they the noisy sort?
P. S. No. 2.—What ladies are to sit beside me at dinner?
