(The English consul.) All right. The dog is too closely muzzled. He
can't breathe properly.
(Count Daisy Wrangel.) Why do you all speak to me. Let me tell about it.
In coming into the first office I first saw one young lady. I told her
she was looking very well. I then went out and came back and went up to
the other lady. I said how do you do I was sorry not to see you the
other day. You were out when I called. My friend is a bear. I thought he
would have come with me to call. I will come soon again.
(Mrs. Marchand.) I don't know him very well that is to say my husband
has pointed him out to me and I knew he was here. It will not be a
disappointment to us.
(Genevieve.) I prefer a basket to a mesh. It is the one souvenir that I
will have. I do not wish to say that I am not pleased. I do not like to
spend 35 dollars over again all over again. It is exact enough.
(Count Daisy Wrangel.) There is a great deal to write in a newspaper.

(Genevieve.) I wish to spend a little money on some things. I am waiting
for the boat. I have nothing to do except sleep. Really not.
