mr. tetgeen. Sir Charles detests scandal.
sarah. Besides there's no case . . . is there?
mr. tetgeen. Sir Charles congratulates himself.
sarah. Sir Charles had best not bully me so politely . . . tell him.
mr. tetgeen. My lady!
sarah. I will not discuss this impertinence. Did those two men meet and talk . . . chat together? What d'you think of that?
mr. tetgeen. 'Twas very practical. I know that the woman is somehow the outcast.
sarah. A bad woman . . . an idle woman! But I've tried to do so much that lay to my hands without ever questioning . . . ! Thank you, I don't want this retailed to my husband. You'll take a glass of wine before you go?
mr. tetgeen. Port is grateful.
