"How do you know all that?"
"From that one's talk last night. And from Mrs. Wishart."
"Did she say they were puritanical?"
"Yes. O yes! they are stiff about dancing and cards; and I had nearly laughed last night at the way Miss—what's her name?—opened her eyes at me when I spoke of the theatre."
"She does not know what the theatre is," said Philip.
"She thinks she does."
"She does not know the half."
"Philip," said Mrs. Burrage severely and discontentedly, "you are not agreeing with me."
"Not entirely, sister."
"You are as fond of the theatre, or of the opera, as anybody I know."
