Sir Hugh P. Lane (turning to a titled lady). Oh, do come to tea next Saturday. I want to show you my new Titian which I have just bought for 2100l.
Titled Lady. Sir Hugh, can you tell me who Mrs. Dubedat is now?
Sir Hugh P. Lane. Oh, yes. She married
Dr. Schutzmacher, the specialist on bigamy only this morning.
Titled Lady. How interesting. I should like to meet her. Dresses divinely, I’m told.
Sir Hugh P. Lane. She’s coming to tea next Saturday; such good tea, too!
Titled Lady. That will be delightful.
St. John hankin (loftily). Can you tell me whether this charmian artist is pronounced Dubédat or Dubèdat?
W. P. Ker (in deep Scotch). Non Dubitat. (He does not speak again.)
P. G. Konody. Oh, Mr. Phillips, do tell me exactly what you think of this artist!
