(BICYCLE BELLS RINGS)

Goodbye!

C: This isn't the rig for you, Mrs Wannop. A pony¹ and basketwork chaise, that's the trap for ladies. But she'll do well for the work tonight.

Mrs Wannop: Tonight?

V: Mr Tietjens means Gertie. Don't you?

C: Yes. Do you know somewhere Gertie can wait it out? They'll be watching the trains at Ashford Junction².

Mrs Wannop: Oh, you'll help?

C: I will not see you incommoded. You've written the only novel since the 18th century I've not had to correct in the margins³.

Mrs Wannop: Well! But what shall we do with Gertie?

C: Bring her over, only don't pull at her mouth, she'll come easy.

V: Oh, he is a beast! You don't know when he's not talking about Gertie.
