Other Players. How could "Margot" suggest "reticence"?
M. C. Never mind; the point is that it did. Now then—and please everyone be silent—now, then, Third Player?
Third Player. "Audacity."
M. C. I'm afraid you're not playing quite fairly. You see "reticence" cannot suggest "audacity." The First Player's word not impossibly might. Could it be that you were still thinking of that?
Third Player. I'm sorry. But "reticence" doesn't suggest anything.
Other Players (together). Oh, yes, it does—"silence," "grumpiness," "oysters," "Trappists."
M. C. If a word suggests nothing whatever to you, you should say, "Blank mind."
Third Player. Ah, but I've thought of something now—"reticule."
(Roars of laughter.)
M. C. It's all right. That's how the mind does work. Now, next player.
