Bill!

Bill.

Well, he must have seen me kiss you. I don’t half like it.

Lady Patricia.

How very bourgeois you are!

Bill.

Well, I don’t know about that. But——

Lady Patricia.

Not bourgeois, then! No, no! Young and self-conscious! Fancy getting red and embarrassed because a gardener saw you looking affectionate!... Dear, dear boy!... Now sit down again and listen. I caught an impression of the sunset yesterday, a few lines, but I believe they are precious—not precieux—precious in the true sense of the word.... Don’t you hate this modern artistic jargon?

Bill.
