Mrs. T. But what do you think of it?
Mr. T. For my part, I don’t approve of twins.
Mrs. T. Don’t you think he is a crank?
Mr. T. Very likely! A crank is an individual whose ideas differ from yours and mine and who takes no pains to conceal the fact.
Mrs. T. Do you think he’s all right? (Hands him paper.)
Mr. T. (Looking at advertisement.) He says high connections, honorable gentleman, etc. I guess he’s what he claims to be. He must be, he says so himself.
Mrs. T. The main thing is, is he rich?
Mr. T. Yes, that’s the main thing. Honor, culture, family, are minor considerations.
Mrs. T. Josiah, don’t be sarcastic. You always try to twist my meaning round. I’m going to have Mrs. Twiggs-Knott apply at once. It would be so nice for Twiggsie and Dixie.
