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.
