Mrs Jennings. Granted. Now do be quiet and let me read my paper in peace.
Duke [with a sigh]. Very well. [He sits silent].
[Mrs Jennings returns to paper and reads. Then she gives a shriek. Duke, startled, looks up].
Duke. Dear lady, what is it?
Mrs Jennings. Oh, such a thing I've found in this paper.
Duke. What is it? Has the Government gone out again?
Mrs Jennings. Not it! Something much more important! Here's a recipe for tomatoes with cream, which I've been looking for all my life.
Duke [much excited]. Tomatoes! Oh, how immensely interesting! I am passionately fond of tomatoes!
Mrs Jennings. So am I!
Duke. I've been longing to find a new way of cooking them.
