Hornby.
D’you remember that afternoon at Miss Wickham’s when I came for a letter to your brother?
Norah.
I hadn’t much intention of coming to Canada then.
Hornby.
I don’t mind telling you that I mean to get back to England the very first opportunity I get. I’m willing to give away my share of the White Man’s Burden with a packet of chewing gum.
Norah.
[Smiling.] You prefer the Effete East?
Hornby.
