So I heard.

Vicar.

I was told you were not at home. As I walked away it was impossible for me not to see that you were in your garden.

Mrs. Littlewood.

It’s inadequately protected from the road.

Vicar.

I was rather hurt. I’m not aware that there’s been anything in my behaviour since I came here to justify you in treating me with discourtesy. Our relations have always been more than cordial.

Mrs. Littlewood.

I didn’t wish to see you.

Vicar.
