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.
