C – Christopher Tietjens
V – Vincent Macmaster
C: You would marry Mrs Duchemin, of course, if she were free.
V: Yes.
C: Why doesn't she have her husband certified 1?
V: Well, she's loyal. Do you find that contradictory 2?
C: No, I don't. But, no disrespect, surely a better reason is that the Lunacy Commissioners 3 would hold the purse strings 4.
V: Yes.
C: Whereas, as things are...
V: I wanted to ask your advice. Suppose she lent me the money? Only a thousand or two? I want to live in a manner worthy 5 of Edith, naturally. Chrissie, it's only timing 6. The money will come to her in the end, what's the difference?
C: None, except as to how you are perceived as a gentleman. Don't touch the Duchemins' money, I'll give you what you need.
V: Chrissie.
C: It's of no consequence. I came into some funds from my mother, rather a lot by my standards.
V: Chrissie, it would be a loan.
C: I'm afraid I never lend money.
V: I won't take it otherwise.
C: Think of it as you wish. Come up, I'll write you a cheque.
V: Thank you, Chrissie. I'm about to be handing out sums of money too. Small sums from the Royal Literary Fund. It seems some poor beggar has to supervise the disbursements. And the King's Gold Stick of the Bedchamber or some such liked my little book on Browning.
C: Congratulations, you'll be in the honours list soon enough.
V: Do you think so?
