Rose telephoned.
-
She said she'd told you we were about to set the date.
-
I just made some tea. Would you like a cup?
-
Thank you.

I suppose you're here to say that Lord Flintshire
-
would find the prospect of a black son-in-law preposterous.
-

-
To be fair to Papa, he'd find your being a band singer
-

Mr Ross, are you sure about this?
-
Marriage is a challenge, even when everyone wants it.
-
Even if everyone prays you'll be happy.
