He: Not necessarily vulgar, but an awful accent!
She: Well, no one ever accused him of an American accent. He was educated in Boston. Don't you think him rather amusing?
He: In what way?
She: By way of anecdotes and funny stories?
He: Were those stories he told at dinner supposed to be funny?
She: Of course; didn't you hear the guests laugh?
He: Yes; so did I, but simply in a spirit of compliment. Is he supposed to be a comic man in your country?
She: Extremely so.
He: Really?
She: And he talks remarkably well.
