_Bob_. For what?

_Gladys_. I'm wondering how long it will be before it occurs to Jack
to ask what _I_ think of this plan of his.

_Jessie_. I hope you'll make him give it up, Gladys!

_Gladys_. Your suggestion is out of date, dear. The modern young man
doesn't give up his ideas at the request of his fiancee.

_Jessie_. Tell him what you think, at least!

_Gladys_. You don't take sugar, Bob? Don't you see that he hasn't
been interested in what I think? He has acquired some new interests.
He's going to learn about the _reality_ of life!

_Jack (enters, in afternoon coat)_. Gladys, that's not fair!

_Gladys_. Will you have tea, Jack?

_Jack_. You know I'm up against it.

_Gladys_. One lump or two, Jack?

_Jack_. I got into a scrape at college--

_Gladys_. Too strong for you, Jack? No, don't make these pretences
with me. You can get rid of me without going hoboing.

_Jessie_. How can you talk so?
