Why are you going by night?

Dickie.

[Relieved.] Oh, you see, there’s so much less of a crowd. It’s more convenient when you’re carting an invalid about.

Penelope.

[Gaily.] It’ll be great fun, because you’ll see all the gay young men who are making a little excursion to Paris with the object of their affections. I’m told they always go by night so that no one should see them on the journey.

Golightly.

Well, I must be getting on or I shall be late. Au revoir.

Penelope.

Don’t be too long, father, in case my emotions get the better of me before you come back.

Golightly.
