Darling, we’ve been married for five years. It’s absurd to think there could be anything between us after all that time.
Dickie.
Oh, is it? I wasn’t aware of that fact.
Penelope.
The whole thing seemed to me of no importance. I was pleased to think you were happy.
Dickie.
[Flying into a passion.] Well, I think it’s positively disgraceful, Penelope.
Penelope.
Oh, my dear, don’t exaggerate. It was a harmless peccadillo.
Dickie.
