Arthur.
Oh, but I shouldn't say this if I hadn't been most agreeably disappointed.
Mrs. Appleby.
I never forget the days when Mr. Appleby used to light the kitchen fire himself and I used to do the week's washing every Monday morning. I don't think we've changed much since then, either of us.
Arthur.
I know, and I'm really grateful to the Foreign Office for having given you your letter.
Mrs. Appleby.
It's been a great treat to us to come and see you. And it's done my heart good to see Lady Little. If you don't mind my saying so she's like a spring morning and it makes one glad to be alive just to look at her.
Violet.
Oh, don't!
