A cigar, Frank?

MISQUITH.

No, thank you.

AUBREY.

Going to walk, doctor?

JAYNE.

If Frank will.

MISQUITH.

AUBREY.

It's a cold night.

[_The door is closed._ DRUMMLE _remains standing with his coat on his arm and his hat in his hand._

DRUMMLE.

[_To himself, thoughtfully._] Now then! What the devil----!

[AUBREY _returns._

AUBREY.

[_Eyeing_ DRUMMLE _a little awkwardly._] Well, Cayley?

DRUMMLE.

Well, Aubrey?

[AUBREY _walks up to the fire and stands looking into it._

AUBREY.

You're not going, old chap?

DRUMMLE.

[_Sitting._] No.

AUBREY.

[_After a slight pause, with a forced laugh._] Hah! Cayley, I never thought I should feel--shy--with you.

DRUMMLE.

Why do you?

AUBREY.

DRUMMLE.

AUBREY.

You can?

DRUMMLE.

In your place I should very likely adopt the same course.

AUBREY.

You think so?

DRUMMLE.

And if I intended marrying a lady not prominently in Society, as I presume you do--as I presume you do----

AUBREY.

Well?

DRUMMLE.

As I presume you do, I'm not sure that _I_ should tender her for preliminary dissection at afternoon tea-tables.

AUBREY.

No?

DRUMMLE.

In fact, there is probably only one person--were I in your position to-night--with whom I should care to chat the matter over.

AUBREY.

Who's that?
