Elizabeth. Shall we?
Teddie. This minute.
Porteous. You’re damned fools, both of you, damned fools! If you like you can have my car.
Teddie. That’s awfully kind of you. As a matter of fact I got it out of the garage. It’s just along the drive.
Porteous. [Indignantly.] How do you mean, you got it out of the garage?
Teddie. Well, I thought there’d be a lot of bother, and it seemed to me the best thing would be for Elizabeth and me not to stand upon the order of our going, you know. Do it now. An excellent motto for a business man.
Porteous. Do you mean to say you were going to steal my car?
Teddie. Not exactly. I was only going to bolshevise it, so to speak.
Porteous. I’m speechless. I’m absolutely speechless.
Teddie. Hang it all, I couldn’t carry Elizabeth all the way to London. She’s so damned plump.
