Anna. He is so breezy, isn’t he?
Arnold. Yes, that’s his great asset. I don’t know that he’s very intelligent, but, you know, there are occasions when you want a bull in a china shop. I sent one of the servants to find Elizabeth.
Anna. I daresay she’s putting on her shoes. She and Teddie were going to have a single.
Arnold. It can’t take all this time to change one’s shoes.
Anna. [With a smile.] One can’t change one’s shoes without powdering one’s nose, you know.

Arnold. My dear, I’ve been hunting for you everywhere. What have you been doing?
Elizabeth. Nothing! I’ve been standing on my head.
Arnold. My father’s here.
