Lady Kitty. But you’re missing everything.
Porteous. That’s my business.
C.-C. It’s no good losing your temper over it, Hughie.
Porteous. Go away, both of you. You irritate me.
Lady Kitty. We were only trying to help you, Hughie.
Porteous. I don’t want to be helped. I want to do it by myself.
Lady Kitty. I think your manners are perfectly deplorable, Hughie.
Porteous. It’s simply maddening when you’re playing patience and people won’t leave you alone.
C.-C. We won’t say another word.
Porteous. That three goes. I believe it’s coming out. If I’d been such a fool as to put that seven up I shouldn’t have been able to bring these down.
