Basil.

[Smiling.] Your repartees are not brilliant, James.

James.

[Standing at the door for safety's sake.] I'll pay you out before I've done.

Basil.

[Raising his eyebrows.] James, I told you to get out five minutes ago.

James.

I'm going. D'you think I want to stay 'ere? Good-bye, Jenny, I'm not going to stand being insulted by any one. [He goes out slamming the door.]
