“My dear fellow, I can quite believe it. A man like Gascoyne Gascoyne does not retain his polish undimmed if he has been living for years with a woman who isn’t a lady at heart.”
“I don’t think Miss Gascoyne would be devoted to anyone who was capable of offending the canons of good taste.”
“They are great friends?”
“I should think so.”
“Well, when I am married we must have a nice family party. Don’t mind my getting into bed. You can let yourself out, can’t you?”
“Easily.”

“Oh, do you mind shutting my bedroom door, the woman makes such a beastly row doing it if it’s left till the morning.”
“Good-night.”
