lord caversham. Of course it is worth while, sir. Which is the most comfortable chair?
lord goring. This one, father. It is the chair I use myself, when I have visitors.
lord caversham. Thank ye. No draught, I hope, in this room?
lord goring. No, father.
lord caversham. [Sitting down.] Glad to hear it. Can’t stand draughts. No draughts at home.
lord goring. Good many breezes, father.
lord caversham. Eh? Eh? Don’t understand what you mean. Want to have a serious conversation with you, sir.
lord goring. My dear father! At this hour?
lord caversham. Well, sir, it is only ten o’clock. What is your objection to the hour? I think the hour is an admirable hour!
lord goring. Well, the fact is, father, this is not my day for talking seriously. I am very sorry, but it is not my day.
