Dunn. (L.) Yes! You’re crazed on the subject of Early Greece.
Sillocks laughs.
Tomp. (L. C.) I am, and I glory in it.
Sill. (R.) Well for modern tastes, there isn’t always too much clothing on our remnants of that early period.
Dunn. (crosses to Sillocks) You’re right. That’s one reason the women objected to the Niobe; and it’s decent enough for anything. The dress is apparently split up a bit on one side, and shows part of the knee.
Tomp. (enthusiastically) A classic knee, Sir, which nothing in nature—Modern nature—could equal.
Dunn. (C. ) I did manage to have my own way for once, and there it is, behind that four-fold screen, which boxes it in completely. It’s nicely out of the way there too.
Tomp. (rising) You’d like to see it, Sillocks?
Sill. Yes!
Tomp. A glorious figure, Sir!
