"Ah, you sly thing! What have you been doing with yourself all the time?"
"Furnishing."
"What! you came into an empty house?"
"Not quite that, but nearly."
"It is very odd I should never have seen your husband. We have crossed each other twenty times."
"Not so very odd, seeing he has been my husband only a fortnight."
"What is he like?"
"Like nothing but himself."
"Is he tall?"
"Yes."
