Mrs Jennings. Oh, yes! And it's that—and other things that made it rather difficult—[she checks herself]. But in one respect she would be a woman after your own heart.
Duke. I've no doubt she would!
Mrs Jennings. She has a passion for cookery.
Duke. I knew it!
Mrs Jennings. She understands more about dining than any other woman I ever met.
Duke. Oh, what a delightful friend to have!
Mrs Jennings. Yes, she is! She has been a very good friend to me, I must say, until—until we parted company. But why are you so interested in her? Do you know her?
Duke. No, I don't know her exactly—but—from what I have heard and imagine of her, I should like to.
Mrs Jennings. I daresay you would. Lots of people feel the same.
Duke. To tell you the truth, I have been making an attempt to see her to-day, but without success. I went to her house in Berkeley Square, but now I am trying elsewhere.
