V – Valentine Wannop
W – Mrs. Wannop
W: I wanted to write about the Women's Bill, but the editor said, "Oh dear Mrs Wannop, our readers already know that the Lords 1 are going to chuck it back. What they have no grasp of is the Balkan crisis 2."
V: Where did you get all this from?
W: Christopher Tietjens.
V: Oh, you spoke 3 to Mr Tietjens? Is he an expert on the Balkan situation? I suppose he is.
W: Because his father boodled me into this job in the first place having shares in the paper, it would reflect very badly on him if I were to make a bish of this article. Not to mention losing five guineas a week. Oh, bother it! I meant to say that Serbia has no more right to demand access to the sea than Berkshire. Christopher, of course.
V: Well, it's men waving their spears 4. As if war were only about maps. Now, time's up. I'm expected with Mrs Duchemin. So it's in the box!
