Matt. Completely. All my life I've been doing things I should never have dreamed of doing if my gray matter had done its duty and not got watery.

Prof. [Taking out watch.] In two minutes.
Harry. I'll go and get the balls out and chalk the cues. [Going up to door.] Doll, [taps the writing-desk] you put it off after tea—by-and-by, you know!
Dolly. [She has finished letter, has risen, and closed writing-desk.] By-and-by.
Harry. Before we go to bed—don't forget.
