TRIPPETT (to TULLY, who is now up again behind arm-chair). And did you pass any comment at the time?
JOHN. No, but the woman did!
TULLY. I think I said, “Oh, dear, dear, (pause) dear!”
JOHN. Of course I shall have to take proceedings against your company if it costs me every penny my wife’s got. I mean, that I’ve got!
TRIPPETT. I don’t think that will be necessary, Mr. Ayers, our company is a very generous one, and although we cannot acknowledge any legal obligation we like to treat our passengers as fairly as we can——
JOHN. I’m sure you do.
TRIPPETT. We like to make friends——
JOHN. You have a friendly face, Mr. Trippett.
TRIPPETT. We want to see you riding in our ’buses again.
JOHN. Mind you, I like your ’buses.
