Mrs. Crowley.

[To Dick.] Are you going to Southampton to see Mr. Mackenzie off?

Dick.

I shall hide my face on his shoulder and weep salt tears. It'll be most affecting, because in moments of emotion I always burst into epigram.

Alec.

I loathe all solemn leave-takings. I prefer to part from people with a nod and a smile, whether I'm going for ever or for a day to Brighton.

Mrs. Crowley.

You're very hard.

Alec.
