Daisy. Lovely! But Jack's got whiskers and a beard.

Violet. So he has! Then why not this exquisite silver cigar-ash tray?

Daisy. Yes, that would be just the thing; only, unfortunately, Jack never smokes, and always walks out of the room if anybody else does.

Violet. Oh! That's awkward. This drinking-horn—what do you think of it?

Daisy (gloomily). I'm afraid Jack's a Blue Ribbonite.

Violet (after a pause). He needn't use it for drinking from. It would do for a flower-vase, if it had a stand. Anyhow, let's make haste and choose something.

Daisy. I would give him this lovely ink-bottle, only he uses a type-writer. Ah, I have it—a purse!

Violet. The question is whether Jack has it, not you.

Daisy (enthusiastically). Yes, a purse it shall be. Jack never has any money—but that is only a detail. Showy, isn't it?

Violet. Awfully pretty! Made in Germany, too, it says; that makes it so much more romantic.
