DIVINE: At Eton I was a member at Pop; at Rugby I belonged to Near-beer. As a younger son I was destined for the police force&mdash;

MR. ICKY: Skip that.... Have you money?...

DIVINE: Wads of it. I should expect Ulsa to go down town in sections every morning&mdash;in two Rolls Royces. I have also a kiddy-car and a converted tank. I have seats at the opera&mdash;

ULSA: (Sullenly) I can't sleep except in a box. And I've heard that you were cashiered from your club.

MR. ICKY: A cashier? ...

DIVINE: (Hanging his head) I was cashiered.

ULSA: What for?

DIVINE: (Almost inaudibly) I hid the polo bails one day for a joke.

MR. ICKY: Is your mind in good shape?

DIVINE: (Gloomily) Fair. After all what is brilliance? Merely the tact to sow when no one is looking and reap when every one is.

ME. ICKY; Be careful. ... I will-not marry my daughter to an epigram....

DIVINE: (More gloomily) I assure you I'm a mere platitude. I often descend to the level of an innate idea.

ULSA: (Dully) None of what you're saying matters. I can't marry a man who thinks it would be Jack. Why Frank would&mdash;

DIVINE: (Interrupting) Nonsense!

ULSA: (Emphatically) You're a fool!

MR. ICKY: Tut-tut! ... One should not judge ... Charity, my girl. What was it Nero said?&mdash;"With malice toward none, with charity toward all&mdash;"

PETER: That wasn't Nero. That was John Drinkwater.

MR. ICKY: Come! Who is this Frank? Who is this Jack?
