Lawton: "No, no; don't disturb yourself! We wish to tear it to pieces without your embarrassing presence. Will you take my arm, Mrs. Crashaw?"
Mrs. Bemis: "Oh, let us all go and see it!"
Roberts: "Aren't you coming, Willis?"
Campbell, without looking round: "Thank you, I've seen it."
Mrs. Somers, whom the withdrawal of her other guests has left alone with him: "How could you tell such a fib?"
Campbell: "I could tell much worse fibs than that in such a cause."
Mrs. Somers: "What cause?"
Campbell: "A lost one, I'm afraid. Will you answer my question, Amy?"
Mrs. Somers: "Did you ask me any?"
Campbell: "You know I did—before those people came in."
