Lucas. No, and I'm grateful.
[Shaking hands very cordially.
Matt. That's all right. Now, old chap, you've got to pull up!
Lucas. Pull up?
Matt. Short. This Mrs. Sturgess—Dolly says there's a lot of nonsense going on, gushing letters and so on,—damned silly thing writing letters, Lu——
Lucas. Yes, I know.
Matt. Well, what do you do it for?
Lucas. I don't know.
Matt. You're seeing her every day. If you must carry on this tomfoolery, why not do it by word of mouth? Why write it down, to show what an ass you've been?
