No, don’t sympathise. I have rather a high colour, and when I’ve had a good cry it always improves my complexion. After that, I ordered some new frocks, and I bought a diamond necklace that I’d been hankering after for some time.
Gerald.
And that thoroughly consoled you, I suppose?
Mrs. Dot.
It helped. Then I came to the conclusion that there were as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it. I thought you over. After all, you’re not really very good-looking, are you?
Gerald.
I’m not aware that I ever made any pretence of being so.
Mrs. Dot.
And I’m sure no one could accuse you of being extremely amusing.
Gerald.
