Basil.

Really, that's very thoughtful of you. I was under the impression you generally came to borrow money.

James.

Throw that in my face now. I can't 'elp it if I'm out of work.

Basil.

Oh, I haven't the least objection to your being out of work. All I protest against—and that very mildly—is that I should be expected to keep you. How much did you want to-day?

James.

I don't want your dirty money.

Basil.

[With a laugh.] Have you already tried to borrow it from Jenny?
