Basil, it's not the woman we used to know before you went out to the Cape?

Basil.

[Pale and nervous, but determined.] I've just told you that you used to know Jenny.

John.

Man alive, you're not going to marry the barmaid of the "Golden Crown"?

Basil.

[Looking at him steadily.] Jenny was a barmaid at the "Golden Crown."

John.

But, good Lord, Basil, what d'you mean? You're not serious?

Basil.
