Grace.
His name is Davies. He’s the local doctor.
Mrs. Insoley.
You’re not going to suggest that the local doctor would dream of asking a question unless he was quite sure Claude was prepared to answer it?
Archibald.
Davies is an advanced Radical. I’m afraid he may take the opportunity to have a fling at Claude.
Mrs. Insoley.
I’m all at sea. In my day we wouldn’t have stood a doctor for five minutes who was a Radical. We’d have made life unbearable for him until he became a Conservative or left the district.
Archibald.
[With a shrug of the shoulders.] You’re looking rather dicky, Grace.
