Mrs. Parker-Jennings.

It isn’t a question of when he’s going. Your father went to him and said he was to clear out before twelve o’clock or we’d send for the police, come what might. That’s what you told him, Robert, isn’t it?

Parker-Jennings.

Well, my dear....

Mrs. Parker-Jennings.

You always were a fool, Jennings. What have you done now?

Parker-Jennings.

Well, my dear, he insisted on having one of the footmen in the room. He said he didn’t like this English habit of ours of having no servants at the breakfast-table.

Mrs. Parker-Jennings.

You don’t mean to say you let him order my servants about?
