Miss P. Then why not a gosling?
Car. It's early for geese.
Dor. Deuced early!
Pil. Entirely premature.
Miss P. When I mentioned a goose I was thinking of Mr. Pillenger. (Dorvaston and Lucy laugh)
Pil. Tut, tut! Hannah!
Dor. Hope, ma'am, when you mentioned a duck, you were thinking of me.
Miss P. I fail to understand you. My brother is exceedingly partial to goose.
Car. There's a ham in cut, so I think we'd better fall back on fowls. It isn't easy to do anything very novel with cold fowls, but if I stuff and glaze them, I've no doubt they'll pass muster.
