“No matter—we don't want to see them.”
“Rather not! They wouldn't have known we were here had it not been for that dog.”
“I must go and see who it is. Come here, sir; come here, you brute.”
“Supposing it is father?”
“Get behind that piece of tapestry. I'll say that Meason and I were having some oysters.”
“Come here, sir. I'd better tie up that dog—I wonder who it is?”
“Open the door.”
“Oh! Mr. Brookes, quite an unexpected pleasure.”
“I have come, sir, for my daughters.”
“Your daughters? Your daughters are not here. Mr. Brookes.”
