It's no good trying to snub me. I'm unsnubable to-day. You haven't congratulated me, Anne.

Anne.

My dear, you've been talking nineteen to the dozen. I've not had the chance to get a word in edgeways.

Ronny.

[To Violet.] Will you put my name back on your list for that dinner? It would have broken my heart to miss it.

Violet.

Your official position rather alters things, doesn't it? I would never dare to ask you now just to make an even number.

Ronny.

Oh, well, I'm sending out the invitations. I shall write a formal letter to myself, explaining the circumstances, and I daresay I shall see my way to accept.

Christina.
