TED MORRIS.
(Laughing!) I should have thought that a man of your age would have got over all ideas of that kind.
PRIMROSE DEANE.
(Laughing.) Besides, Theodore, I'm not literary. You know I read the Family Herald.
THEODORE TRAVERS.
My dear Primrose, that's a great mistake people make. A literary man doesn't want a literary wife. It would be like living with a critic. A clever man wants a wife foolish enough to always admire him. We should have got on admirably together. (To Cherry.) You haven't seen my pocket-book about anywhere, have you, Cherry?
ADAM CHERRY.
(Taking it from his pocket and giving it to him.) Yes, you left it on the table. I took the liberty of glancing into it; you don't mind I suppose?
THEODORE TRAVERS.
Not at all. Learnt how to write a comedy?
