VIRGINIA. Yes. Don't you usually get presents on your birthday?
PAUL. What! Between grown-ups?
VIRGINIA. Why not? It's just those little pleasant things that keep life sweet.
ZACK. I used to get a bag of humbugs when I was a tiny lad.
VIRGINIA. Oh, we keep on doing it at home and I shall do it here. Only I want a ha'penny from you first.
ZACK. A ha'penny!
VIRGINIA. My present cuts, and so you'll have to pay me for it to keep bad luck away. Ha'penny, please, (She holds hand out.)
ZACK (rather hurt at having to confess). I haven't got a ha'penny, Jenny.
VIRGINIA. What, have you spent last Saturday's wages already? It's only Tuesday.
ZACK. I don't get any wages.
