Sladder: The public will eat it.
Splurge: Ah!
Sladder: Any other business to-day?
Splurge: O, only the cook, sir. He's complaining about the vegetables, sir. He says he's never been anywhere before where they didn't buy them. We get them out of the kitchen garden here, and it seems he doesn't understand it. Says he won't serve a greengrocer, sir.
Sladder: A kitchen garden is the wrong thing, is it?
Splurge: He says so, sir.
Sladder: But there was one here when we came.
Splurge: O, only country people, sir. I suppose they didn't know any better.
Sladder: Well, where do people grow vegetables, then?
Splurge: I asked the cook that, sir, and he said they don't grow them, they buy them.
