Oh, rot! I’m as fit as a fiddle.

Mrs. Dot.

Don’t you agree with me, James?

Blenkinsop.

Certainly. I think a change of air is distinctly indicated.

Freddie.

But I can’t go away when you’ve got people in the house. Besides, who’s to look after your correspondence?

Mrs. Dot.

My dear boy, your health is the chief thing. I should never forgive myself if you came to any harm while you were my secretary. I’ll write my letters myself.
