Mrs. Parker-Jennings.

Don’t you remember, sir? I asked if I might invite a few friends to meet you.

Jack Straw.

Oh, yes—Lady Wanley and Holland. I thought we might have a jolly little game of bridge in the garden. What have you got the village band in for?

Vincent.

That’s not the village band, sir. That’s the Royal Blue Orchestra.

Parker-Jennings.

Cost me £150 to have them down. Special train from London, and I don’t know what all.

Vincent.

Shut up, pater. You needn’t tell every one how much you paid for things.
