WRIGLEY. Aye. I thought you'd relish it. It's full-flavoured but it doesn't rasp the tongue. It's mellow.
THOMAS. Meller's a great word, Joe. I like things to be meller. I like meller women and meller cheese and meller ale and meller festivals.
HARRY. Did you go to see Mr. Abbott married the other day?
THOMAS. Did I go? I'd say so. That was a proper meller occasion.
HARRY. It was that. Mellow right through. He married his wife with port wine, did Mr. Abbott.
THOMAS. I'm not partial to port wine myself. I favour ale at all times and all occasions. Ale's a beverage.
WRIGLEY. And Mr. Abbott's wedding isn't the point to-night.
THOMAS. It was a meller wedding and we want things meller always.
HARRY. That's it in a nutshell, Mr. Munning.
PAUL. I'm sure we make no differences, Mr. Shoebridge.
