C- Christopher Tietjens

V- Valentine Wannop

 V: An old gentleman used to sit there called Gran'fer Finn. EveryTenterden market day, he sold fleed cakes from a basket to the carts going by. Tenterden market was abolished in 1845, done in by the repeal1 of the Corn Laws.

C: Why do you suppose I make a collection of obsolescent2 facts?

V: Because you do. You make Toryism out of them. I thought your type were all in museums. You want to be an English country gentleman spinning principles out of quaintness3, and letting the country go to hell. You won't stir a finger except to say, "I told you so."

V: Where are you? I wish you'd make some noise.
