V – Valentine Wannop

W – Mrs. Wannop

W: I wanted to write about the Women's Bill, but the editor said, "Oh dear Mrs Wannop, our readers already know that the Lords are going to chuck it back. What they have no grasp of is the Balkan crisis."

V: Where did you get all this from?

W: Christopher Tietjens.

V: Oh, you spoke to Mr Tietjens? Is he an expert on the Balkan situation? I suppose he is.

W: Because his father boodled me into this job in the first place having shares in the paper, it would reflect very badly on him if I were to make a bish of this article. Not to mention losing five guineas a week. Oh, bother it! I meant to say that Serbia has no more right to demand access to the sea than Berkshire. Christopher, of course.

V: Well, it's men waving their spears. As if war were only about maps. Now, time's up. I'm expected with Mrs Duchemin. So it's in the box!
