Harry. Oh, I'm thoroughly resolved! I promised Dolly last night, didn't I, Dolly? [Dolly takes no notice.] Dolly too! Dolly was awfully impressed by the sermon, weren't you, Dolly?
Matt. [Looking round at Dolly's back.] Dolly was awfully impressed?
Harry. Yes. Before we went to bed she gave me her word, that if I'd give her a little help, she'd pay off all her bills, and live within her allowance for the future, didn't you, Dolly?
Matt. Well, that will be another score for Pilcher—that is, if Dolly does live within her allowance.
Harry. Oh, Dolly means it this time, don't you Dolly?
Dolly. [Turns round on her stool, bills in hand.] I think it's disgraceful!
Matt. What?
Dolly. These tradespeople! [Comes down to Matt.] I'm almost sure I've paid this bill once—if not twice. Then there's a mistake of thirty shillings in the addition—you're good at figures, Dad. Do add that up for me. My head is so muddled.
[Giving the bill to Matt.
Harry. Aren't you glad, Doll, that you made that resolution not to have any more bills?
