I forget who they are. But I know they're loathsome. That's why I asked them.
[Basil opens the door, and the two women go out.
John
[Sitting down and stretching himself.] Now that we've got rid of our womankind let's make ourselves comfortable. [Taking a pipe out of his pocket.] I think I'll sample your baccy if you'll pass it along.
Basil
[Handing him the jar.] I'm rather glad you stayed, John. I wanted to talk to you.
John
Ha! ha!
[Basil pauses a moment, while John looks athim with amusement. He fills his pipe.
John
[Lighting his pipe.] Nice gal, Hilda – ain't she?
Basil
[Enthusiastically.] Oh, I think she's perfectly charming… But what makes you say that?
John
[Innocently.] Oh, I don't know. Passed through my head.
Basil
I say, I've got something to tell you, John.
John
Well, don't be so beastly solemn about it.
Basil
[Smiling.] It's a solemn thing.
John
No, it ain't. I've done it myself. It's like a high dive. When you look down at the water it fairly takes your breath away, but after you've done it – it's not so bad as you think. You're going to be married, my boy.
Basil
[With a smile.] How the deuce d'you know?
John
[Gaily.] Saw it with mine own eyes. I congratulate you, and I give you my blessing. I'll get a new frock-coat to give the lady away in.
Basil
You?.. [Suddenly understanding.] You're on the wrong tack, old man. It's not your sister-in-law I'm going to marry.
John
Then why the dickens did you say it was?
Basil
I never mentioned her name.
John
H'm! I've made rather more than an average ass of myself, haven't I?
Basil
What on earth made you think…?
John
[Interrupting.] Oh, it was only some stupid idea of my wife's. Women are such fools, you know. And they think they're so confoundedly sharp.
Basil
[Disconcerted—looking at him.] Has Mrs. Murray…?
John
No, of course not! Well, who the deuce are you going to marry?
Basil
[Flushing.] I'm going to marry Miss Jenny Bush.
John
Never heard of her. Is it any one I know?
Basil
Yes, you knew her.
