Evelyn. Did you often quarrel with your sister?
Cecil. Perpetually. And my brothers. Didn't you?
Evelyn. I never had any.
Cecil. Poor little kid. You must have been rather lonely.
Evelyn [matter-of-fact]. There was always Reggie.
Cecil. Reggie?
Evelyn. My cousin, Reggie Townsend. He lived with us when we were children. His parents were in India.
Cecil [matter-of-fact]. So he used to quarrel with you instead.
Evelyn [shocked]. Oh no! We never quarreled. At least, Reggie never did. I did sometimes.
Cecil. How dull! There's no good in quarreling if people won't quarrel back.
