Dr. A. Well, you hear what this man says; did you take this wine?

Ruth. Ay, I took it, sure enough.

Dr. A. Why did you take it?

Ruth. Why, to drink, of course. Why should I take it?

Dr. A. You shouldn’t take it.

Ruth. Don’t you never take wine?

Dr. A. Not other people’s wine—except, of course, with their permission.

Ruth. Maybe you’ve got a cellar of your own.

Dr. A. Maybe I have.

Ruth. Well, maybe I haven’t. That’s my answer.
