It's nice of you not to make a fuss about it. I'm very much obliged but I'm afraid I can't.
Captain Montgomerie.

Lady Frederick.
Well, you see, I don't know you.
Captain Montgomerie.

Lady Frederick.
It would be rather late in the day then to come to the conclusion that we couldn't bear the sight of one another.
Captain Montgomerie.
