ROYS. Yes, madam! I little thought of meeting an old schoolfellow here (shaking BARTON’S hand warmly). Some years ago now—eh, Tom?

BART. (aside to him). Harry!

ROYS. Harry!

MRS. T. So you were school-fellows—eh?

ROYS. Yes, ma’am, at—Bagnigge Wells.

BART. (hastily aside to him). Tunbridge!

ROYS. Of course! Tunbridge!

MRS. T. You must have had some difficulty in recognizing each other?

ROYS. I had—very considerable difficulty, I assure you!
