"Dulwich is very little known; it is at least five miles from here."
"Oh, Dulwich!... you're going there?"
"Yes, I ought to have gone the day after we arrived in London. ... I wanted to; I've been thinking of it all the time, and the longer I put it off the more difficult it will become."
"That is true."
"I thought I would drive there to-day before I went to rehearsal."
"Why choose a day on which you have a rehearsal?"
"Only because I've put it off so often. Something always happens to prevent me. I must see my father."
"Have you written to him?"
"No, but I sent him a paper containing an account of the first night. I thought he might have written to me about it, or he might have come to see me. He must know that I am dying to see him."
"I think it would be better for you to go to see him in the first instance."
