Mrs. Fergus: A man must need a strong constitution, what with a call here, and a call there. But Mr. Burns looks a stout sort.

Jean: He’s very popular—with his fame too.

Mrs. Fergus: Quite a celebrity, I suppose, when he’s away from home.

Jean: Some of our neighbours appreciate him too.

Mrs. Fergus: And not the handsome ones least, Mrs. Burns, I’ll be bound.

Jean: So he tells me.

Mrs. Fergus: You’re not very partial to observation yourself, perhaps.

Jean: When your man’s a man of spirit, Mrs. Fergus, you can see and you can not see.

Mrs. Fergus: Well, every woman must judge for herself.
