Are you really sure you can’t go, Pen?

Penelope.

It’s absolutely out of the question.

Mrs. Fergusson.

Don’t you think Dr. O’Farrell ought to stay and look after you?

Penelope.

Oh, no! It’ll do him good to go out. He’s been working so dreadfully hard. This afternoon he had a consultation that lasted nearly an hour.

Mrs. Fergusson.

[To Dickie.] Would you like me to come with you?

Dickie.
