M: The whole world would understand exactly what we have managed to keep from it.

C: You would not be the first landowner to give up a house in town in protest¹ against the new tax. The Duke² would applaud³ you. I shouldn't wonder if he lends you the Westershire box at the opera.

S: I never heard such bosh! I will be in my room praying for death, or at least packing for it. Would you send me your maid⁴?

M: I'd better go myself. Sylvia hit my maid with her hairbrush and I only borrowed her, I don't want to return her damaged.

F: Now then, Christopher. Your son is Roman Catholic⁵ born, and that's the fact of the matter.

C: But Michael will grow up with my sister's children in an Anglican parsonage, and the facts must jostle as they may. Slainte. By the way, father, your Republican⁶ friends should know that Germany is looking for a European war and will find a reason for one, probably in the next two years. So don't fill your dance card in Berlin.
