Except Mrs. Murray, eh?
Basil.
I've seen Mrs. Murray perhaps a dozen times in the last year.
Jenny.
Oh, you needn't tell me that. I know it. She's a lady, isn't she?
Basil.
[Ignoring the charge.] And my work takes me away from you. I can't always be down here. Think how bored you'd be.
Jenny.
A precious lot of good your work does. You can't earn enough money to keep us out of debt.
Basil.
