Mrs. T.—My dear Toodles, don’t say so.
Toodles.—But I will say so, Mrs. Toodles. What will become of us, with your passion for “contingencies.” I say, Mrs. Toodles, where’s the money, and echo answers, where.
Mrs. T.—I’m sure, my dear Toodles, I lay it out to the best advantage.
Toodles.—You shall not squander and waste our revenue.
Mrs. T.—My dear, I buy nothing but what is useful.
Toodles.—Useful—useless you mean. I won’t have the house turned into a museum for glass-ware and chromos. At the end of the year I ask, where’s the money—all gone too—spent in infernal nonsense.
