My dear, didn’t you see that I did everything in the world to throw you together?
Dickie.
But I assure you there’s not a word of truth in it.
Penelope.
[Good-humouredly.] Come, come, Dickie!
Dickie.
But why haven’t you said anything?
Penelope.
I thought it would only embarrass you. I didn’t mean to say anything to-day, but I couldn’t help laughing when you asked me if I was surprised.
Dickie.
