S. G. V. Kens-s-sington!
S. P. S. Oh, Kensington with an "s." Yes. I know. Well now, how would you like it made? Will you have the trousers to match? We're doing a very smart line in buff canary trouserings, just——
S. G. V. I said A BLUE SERGE SUIT, Sir!
S. P. S. Sorry. I was thinking of the other Major Smith. Then we'll say trousers to match. Yes, I've got that. Do you wear them turned up or down? Down. Trousers turned down and sleeves turned up. No, both down. Yes. Now what about box pleats? Shall we say box pleats?
S. G. V. Don't you put any of your new-fangled dodges on my clothes, young man, because I won't have it.
S. P. S. No box pleats. I'll make a special note of it. Then to-morrow fortnight without fail.
S. G. V. To-morrow WEEK. And if you don't send that dress suit of mine by six to-night——
S. P. S. Dress suit? Dress suit? What dress suit? This is the first I've heard of any dress suit.
S. G. V. What?
S. P. S. It can't be done, old chap. You'll have to borrow one for to-night.
