James
[Jocosely.] Don't mind me. Give 'im a kiss, old tart.
Jenny
Oh, I brought my brother Jimmie to see you.
Basil
[Shaking hands.] How d'you do?
James
Nicely, thanks. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Jenny
[Looking at John and suddenly recognising him.]
Well, I never! If that isn't old John Halliwell. I didn't expect to see you. This is a treat.
John
How d'you do?
Jenny
What are you doing here?
John
I've been having a cup of tea with Basil.
Jenny
[Looking at the tea-things.] D'you always drink out of three cups at once?
John
My wife has been here – and her sister.
Jenny
Oh, I see. Fancy your being married. How d'you like it?
John
All right, thanks.
[Basil pours out a cup of tea, and during the following speeches gives Jenny milk and sugar and cake.
James
People say it wants a bit of gettin' used to.
John
Mr. Bush, you're a philosopher.
James
Well, I will say this for myself, you'd want to get up early in the morning to catch me nappin'. I didn't catch your name.
John
Halliwell.
James
'Alliwell?
John
[Emphasising the H.] Halliwell.
James
That's what I say – 'Alliwell. I knew a fellow in the meat trade called 'Alliwell. Any relation?
John
I don't think so.
James
Fine business 'e 'ad too. There's a rare lot of money to be made out of meat.
John
I dare say.
Jenny.
[To John.] It is a long time since I've seen you. I suppose you've quietened down now you're a married man. You were a hot 'un when you was a bachelor.
James
[Facetiously.] Don't make 'im blush, Jenny. Accidents will 'appen in the best regulated families. And boys will be boys, as they say in the Bible.
