First M. M. Er—yes. Can you let me have a Postal Order for six-and-sixpence?
Miss C. (with decision). No, I can't!
First M. M. (surprised). But surely——!
Miss C. Give you two—one for five shillings, and one for eighteen-pence, if that will do?
First M. M. Of course, that's what I meant!
Miss Cross. It's not what you said—you said a order. (Makes out the orders with much disdain.) Three-halfpence to pay.
Second M. M. (returning). Oh, I quite forgot—will you kindly cash this order for me?
Miss O. Not till you've signed it.
Second M. M. Bless my heart, I quite forgot it ought to be signed! Could you oblige me with a pen for one moment?
Miss O. There's a desk over there for all that.
