Not going to bed, Amy? One pipe, and I'm off!

What do you think you're doing?

I've known all the evening I was going to catch it from you, Amy. I saw it in your eye. But what can a fellow do? He must play up a bit. I haven't actually said anything.

What does Mabel think?
human
Come now, be fair. I wanted to tell her--well, I wanted her to have a hint given her. I told the mater so, but the mater wouldn't hear of it. The bare idea sent her all--well, absolutely upset her.
gpt
You wanted to tell her? Her? Which?
human
Good Lord, Amy! He was knocked out. What a question to be asked in Woburn Square!
gpt
Which?
human
I was speaking of Miss Thurseley, and I think you knew it.
gpt
Oh, I knew it.
human
Anything else isn't your business at all. I never understood why the pater told you.
