Sir Webley: Oh. Go on ...

Trundleben: One called "The Passionate Pilgrim," another "A Lover's Complaint."

Sir Webley: I think the whole thing's very regrettable.

Neeks: I think so too, Sir Webley.

Trundleben (mournfully): And there've been no poets since poor Browning died, none at all. It's absurd for him to call himself a poet.

Neeks: Quite so, Trundleben, quite so.

Sir Webley: And all these plays. What does he mean by calling them plays? They've never been acted.

Trundleben: Well—er—no, not exactly acted, Sir Webley.

Sir Webley: What do you mean by not exactly, Trundleben?

Trundleben: Well, I believe they were acted in America, though of course not in London.
