[Who has been going on with her sewing, looking up now and then uneasily.] I haven't said a word against you, Basil.
Basil.
[Turning his back on James.] Oh, my dear Jenny, if it amuses you, by all means discuss me with your brother and your sister and your father and your mother, and the whole crew of them.... I should be so dull if I had no faults.
Jenny.
[Anxiously.] Tell him I've not said anything against him, Jimmie.
James.
It's not for want of something to say, I lay.
Basil.
[Over his shoulder.] I'm getting rather tired, brother James. I'd go, if I were you.
