Thompson
Tournedos à la Splendide.
Fouldes
They were distinctly tough, Thompson. You must lodge a complaint in the proper quarter.
Thompson
Roast pheasant, sir.
Fouldes
Yes, yes, now you mention it, I do remember the pheasant.
Thompson
Chocolate ice, sir.
Fouldes
It was too cold, Thompson. It was distinctly too cold.
Lady Mereston
My dear Paradine, I think you dined uncommonly well.
Fouldes
I have reached an age when love, ambition and wealth pale into insignificance beside a really well-grilled steak. That'll do, Thompson.
Thompson
Very well, sir.
[He goes out.
Lady Mereston
It's too bad of you, Paradine, to devour a substantial meal when I'm eating out my very heart with anxiety.
Fouldes
It seems to agree with you very well. I've not seen you look better for years.
Lady Mereston
For heaven's sake be serious and listen to me.
Fouldes
I started immediately I got your telegram. Pray tell me what I can do for you?
Lady Mereston
My dear Paradine, Charlie's head over ears in love.
Fouldes
It's not altogether an unexpected condition for a young man of twenty-two. If the lady's respectable, marry him and resign yourself to being a dowager. If she's not, give her five hundred pounds and pack her off to Paris or London or wherever else she habitually practises her arts and graces.
Lady Mereston
I wish I could. But who d'you think it is?
Fouldes
My dear, there's nothing I detest more than riddles. I can imagine quite a number of fair ladies who would look without disdain upon a young marquess with fifty thousand a year.
Lady Mereston
Lady Frederick Berolles.
Fouldes
By Jupiter!
Lady Mereston
She's fifteen years older than he is.
Fouldes
Then she's not old enough to be his mother, which is a distinct advantage.
Lady Mereston
She dyes her hair.
Fouldes
She dyes it uncommonly well.
Lady Mereston
She paints.
Fouldes
