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.
