Daisy Debutante: Come on, we've lost out on Lord Slimly. We can't miss out on Lord Roger.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Lord Romper, you mean?
Daisy Debutante: No, THE Romper, I'd say.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: I'll say.
Daisy Debutante: Excuse me, sir, which way to The Romper?
Butler Burnett: I believe he's in the main hall, with ladies attending.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Ladies attending?
Daisy Debutante: If we must go for the popular we must fite our way thru the populos.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: But won't we have to fite amongst ourselves? We can't both have
The Romper.
Daisy Debutante: May be it should be decided by accidental order.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Or by the most syllables in a name.
Daisy Debutante: Now, that would be silly.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Sounds like something we'd do then.
Daisy Debutant: Perhaps that butler we just met's still single.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: That one acting as a signpost?
Daisy Debutante: Is there any other one?
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Well, let the one who charms Lord Romper the least battle for the
butler then.
Daisy Debutante: That's a proposition I'll agree to.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: How did you know The Romper was aiming for a bride anyway?
Daisy Debutante: On account of Lord Slimly. Roger will feel quite redundant if he's left the
only Lord single.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: So, instead, you've singled him out.
Daisy Debutante: Roger!
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: He didn't seem to hear you.
Daisy Debutante: I was drowned out by that chattering Clementine Dilhailey.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: She could talk a good listener to death.
Daisy Debutante: Yes, who else is there?
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Oh, do look. You know I can't, not wearing my glasses.
Daisy Debutante: Oh, Tilly Bunting's fluttering round him also. He's in danger of being detained
for hours. You'll have to but in.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Me?
Daisy Debutante: Yes, being without glasses you're liable to bump into him, so breaking up the
conversation.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: And then?
Daisy Debutante: Then I put on MY glasses.You know he goes for the studios type.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: No, I didn't know that. You forgot to tell me when you rushed me out
the door before I could reach for mine.
Daisy Debutante: Like I said, only one woman per one Romper.
Eugenia Royal Berkshire: Oh, very well. I wasn't too keen on the surname anyway!
