Cecily.
Oh, I merely came back to water the roses.
I thought you were with
Uncle Jack.
Algernon.
He’s gone to order the dog-cart for me.
Cecily.
Oh, is he going to take you for a nice drive?
Algernon.
He’s going to send me away.
Cecily.
Then have we got to part?
Algernon.
I am afraid so. It’s a very painful parting.
Cecily.
It is always painful to part from people whom one has known for a
very brief space of time. The absence of old
friends one can endure with
equanimity. But even a momentary separation from anyone to whom one
has just been introduced is almost unbearable.
Algernon.
Thank you.
