Penelope: A Comedy in Three Acts

by W. Somerset Maugham

I should love it, if it wouldn’t bore you.

Mrs. Fergusson.

Then I shall be delighted.

Penelope.

Thanks so much. But it’s getting very late. I think you ought to start at once.

Dickie.

You’re sure you don’t mind my leaving you, Penelope?

Penelope.

Positive.

Dickie.
