Wife.—Please feel no uneasiness. I shall not think of intruding.
Husband.—Well, then, we shall meet again when the devotion is over.
Wife.—When it is done, I shall have the pleasure of seeing you.
Husband and Wife.—Good-by! Good-by!
Husband [laughing].—What fools women are, to be sure! To think of the delight of her taking it all for truth, when I tell her that I am going to perform the religious devotion of abstraction for one whole day and night! Taraukuwazhiya, are you there? halloo?
Servant.—Yes, sir!
Husband.—Are you there?
Servant.—At your service.
Husband.—Oh! you have been quick in coming.
Servant.—You seem, master, to be in good spirits.
