Jen. Now don’t be ridiculous about Captain Dampier; I’ve a very great respect for his opinion on such matters.
Spread. I’m sure you have. You see a great deal of Captain Dampier, don’t you?
Jen. Yes, and we shall see a great deal more of him; he’s going to take the Grange next door.
Spread. (bitterly). That will be very convenient.
Jen. (demurely). Very.
Spread. (jealously). You seem to admire Captain Dampier very much.
Jen. I think he is very good-looking. Don’t you?
Spread. He’s well enough—for a small man.
Jen. Perhaps he’ll grow.
