Sir P. You must make another. (sits, produces documents, and puts on pince-nez)
Phil. Sir Peter, you are incomprehensible!
Sir P. Let me make myself clear. Your father, Philip Selwyn, was married to your mother, Mildred Kent, in July, 1865. I need not show you the certificate.
Phil. Of course not.
Sir P. Two years before, in March, 1863, one Philip Derwent was married to one Kate Graham.
Phil. Derwent? Kate? Miss Derwent’s father, I presume?
Sir P. Yes. There is the certificate.
Phil. I don’t want to see it.
Sir P. But I want you to see it. (gives it to Philip)
