Mrs. Fergusson.
It amuses me to see her simplicity. I get a lot of pleasure in looking at her and thinking how little she suspects what is going on under her very nose. She’s the most trusting person I ever met in my life.

If you want to know anything, it makes me feel devilish uncomfortable.
Mrs. Fergusson.
My poor, dear boy, what are you talking about?
Dickie.
It wouldn’t be so bad if we had to take any precautions. But she trusts us absolutely. Why, she’s always throwing us together. It never enters her head that there can be the least reason for suspicion. It’s like knocking a man down who can’t defend himself.
Mrs. Fergusson.
