C.-C. Let’s have a game then. You may make money.
Porteous. I don’t want to play with you.
Lady Kitty. I don’t know why not, Hughie.
Porteous. Let me tell you that I don’t like your manner.
C.-C. I’m sorry for that. I’m afraid I can’t offer to change it at my age.
Porteous. I don’t know what you want to be hanging around here for.
C.-C. A natural attachment to my home.
Porteous. If you’d had any tact you’d have kept out of the way while we were here.
C.-C. My dear Hughie, I don’t understand your attitude at all. If I’m willing to let bygones be bygones why should you object?
Porteous. Damn it all, they’re not bygones.
