Ch. A loaf of nice household bread—
Min. A stick of celery—
Ch. And a bit of cheese, and you’ve a dinner fit for a monarch.
Min. Then how shall we spend our evenings?
Ch. We’ll have pleasant little fireside games. Are you fond of fireside games?
Min. Oh, they’re great fun.
Ch. Then we’ll play at tailoring.
Min. Tailoring? I don’t think I know that game.
Ch. It’s a very good game. You shall be the clever little jobbing tailor, and I’ll be the particular customer who brings his own materials to be made up. You shall take my measure, cut out the cloth (real cloth, you know), stitch it together, and try it on; and then I’ll find fault like a real customer, and you shall alter it until it fits, and when it fits beautifully that counts one to you.
Min. Delightful!
