Dickie.

And d’you know the attitude Penelope takes up?

Golightly.

She hasn’t been making a scene?

Dickie.

That’s just it. Any woman of feeling would make a scene. There must be something radically wrong about her, or she would have wept and stamped and torn her hair.

Golightly.

[Mildly.] Oh, my dear boy, don’t you exaggerate the enormity of your offence?

Dickie.

There are no excuses for me.
