Well, of course, Jack! How ridiculous you are! Should I be here if I didn’t know Mr. Cazenove?

SYLVESTER.

I haven’t the least notion. I only know you wouldn’t be at home.

MRS. SYLVESTER.

I was in all the morning.

SYLVESTER.

I had business at the Horse Guards. I shall be home to dinner, though.

MRS. SYLVESTER.

Oh dear, I wish I had known that. There’s only mutton.

SYLVESTER.
