The Girl: Yes, Mrs. Burns.

Burns (to Fenton): You have children, sir?

Fenton: No, I regret to say.

Burns: I don’t deserve them, but I have.

Willie: They’re a great expense.

The Girl: Hold your tongue, Willie.

M’Pherson: I’ll be going. Good-evening to you.

Fenton: I too. I only wished to present Mr. Hamilton’s letter this evening. Will you honour me by your company at noon to-morrow? You too, Mrs. Burns?

Jean: My husband will be very pleased, I’m sure. I’ll be busy here though, thank you.

Fenton: At noon then, sir. Good-evening, madam.
