Dick
[With much seriousness.] I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Mrs. Crowley
[Puzzled.] The man's mad. The man's nothing short of a raving lunatic.
Dick
I wanted to see if you were really attached to me. You have given me a proof of esteem which I promise you I will never forget.
Mrs. Crowley
[Laughing.] You're a perfect idiot, Mr. Lomas!
Dick
It's one of my cherished convictions that a really nice woman is never so cruel as to marry a man she cares for.
Mrs. Crowley
You're much too flippant to marry anybody, and you're perfectly odious into the bargain.
[She goes out. Dick, chuckling, lights a cigarette. Alec comes in and lies down lazily on the sofa.
Alec
Why, Dick, what's the matter? You look as pleased as Punch.
Dick
My dear fellow, I feel like the Terrible Turk. I've been wrestling, and I thought I was going to have a fall. But by the display of considerable agility I've managed to keep my legs.
Alec
What do you mean?
Dick
Nothing. It's merely the gaiety of forty-two.
[Boulger comes into the room, followed immediately by Mallins and Carbery. He starts slightly when he sees Alec, but then goes over to the table on which is the whiskey.
Mallins
May we smoke here, Bobby?
Boulger
Certainly. Dick insisted that this room should be particularly reserved for that purpose.
[The Butler comes in with a small silver salver, and takes up one or two dirty glasses.
Dick
Lady Kelsey is the most admirable of all hostesses.
Alec
[Taking a cigarette from his case.] Give me a match, Bobby, there's a good boy. [Boulger, with his back turned to Alec, takes no notice. He pours himself out some whiskey. Alec smiles slightly.] Bobby, throw me over the matches!
Boulger
[With his back still turned.] Miller!
Butler
Yes, sir?
Boulger
Mr. Mackenzie is asking for something.
Butler
Yes, sir!
Alec
You might give me a light, will you?
Butler
Yes, sir!
[The Butler takes the matches to Alec, who lights his cigarette.
Alec
Thank you. [Complete silence is preserved till the Butler leaves the room.] I perceive, Bobbie, that during my absence you have not added good manners to your other accomplishments.
Boulger
If you want things, you can ask the servants for them.
Alec
[Good-humouredly.] Don't be foolish, Bobbie!
