Oh, I met him in the park the other day. He made himself so pleasant. He asked me if I was a Fergusson of Glengary. I didn’t know what he meant, but I said I was, and he seemed so pleased.

Dickie.

You’d better not let him know you were a Miss Jones or he’ll have a fit.

Mrs. Fergusson.

Oh, I shall tell him I’m a Jones of Llandudno. I think that sounds rather smart.

Dickie.

You have what one might politely describe as a remarkable power of invention.

Mrs. Fergusson.

I don’t know about that, but I am a womanly woman, and that’s why men like me.
