Dor. You look astonishing fit. (sits) Now d'you know, I feel as jumpy as a flea.

Dor. Chippy—I know; same here. Where are those kidneys you were shouting about, Lucy? (Mr. Pillenger hands them) Thanks! (Mr. Pillenger passes kidneys to Dorvaston, which he serves himself)

Dor. I had a gentle flutter at the Plough and Rainbow. There was a little pool, so of course I went in.
Miss P. I hope you changed your things, (Dorvaston and Lucy laugh) Captain Dorvaston. Damp clothing is so very dangerous.
Lucy. Pool is a kind of billiards, Auntie.
Miss P. Oh, I misunderstood! Your tea, Captain Dorvaston. (she hands tea to Dorvaston)
