Matt. I should have summoned all my resolution——
Lucas. Oh, that be hanged! Come, Uncle, no humbug! Man to man!
Matt. Well, I don't say that at your age I might not have been tempted—and of course we must all go through a certain amount of experience, or how should we be able to advise you youngsters?
Lucas. I say, no confounded nonsense—your uncle Archie——
Matt. Dear old chap!
Lucas. What use did you make of his advice?
Matt. Well, I remember his talking to me very seriously—I suppose I was about your age—did I ever tell you, Lucas, [taking Lucas's arm affectionately] about a very remarkable auburn-haired girl, Madge Seaforth?
Lucas. No.
Matt. And my racing her across Salisbury Plain at night?
Lucas. No.
