Sir P. Always get up at five. (crosses to Beatrice) How are you? (shakes hands with Beatrice) How d’ye do? (crosses Beatrice to Kate, and waves his hand to Tom and Mildred) How are you, boy?

Bea. Always get up at five? (L. of Sir Peter)

Phil. And never goes to bed before two. It’s a marvel to me how you do it! (front of sofa)

Sir Peter. (crosses to Phil.) It’s a marvel to me how you don’t do it. That’s why you are out of sorts. You eat too much.

Phil. Sir Peter!

Sir P. Drink too much.
