You're a marvellous woman, Christina. You get hold of all the harem gossip.

Christina.

It's true, isn't it?

Arthur.

Yes. But I only heard of it myself just before luncheon. How did it come to your ears?

Christina.

That doesn't matter, does it? I have a way of hearing things that may be of interest to me.

Arthur.

I'm afraid I'm very dense, but I don't see how it can be of any particular interest to you.

Christina.
