John (gazing at her in astonishment). But God bless me, they wouldn't call you young! (Sarah turns up her nose disgustedly.) I missed you. Man, I was looking for you all roads.

Sarah. I'm not a fool sort of young girl that you can just pass an idle hour or two with, John Murray, mind that.

John. I never thought that of you, Sarah.

Sarah. Some people think that.

John (astonished). No.

Sarah. They do. There's Andy just after warning me this morning about making a fool of myself.

John (puzzled). But you never done that, Sarah.

Sarah. Well, he was just after giving me advice about going round flirting with Tom, Dick and Harry.

John. Ah no. You never done that. Sure I knowed you this years and years, and you never had a boy to my knowing.

Sarah (offended). Well I had, plenty. Only I just wouldn't take them. I refused more than three offers in my time.
