Jane Hilton:
Colonel Smollett, do you mind being talked to at breakfast?
Colonel William G. Smollett:
I most certainly do mind.
Jane Hilton:
It's about Bill.
Colonel William G. Smollett:

Jane Hilton:
Bill. You remember, your grandson.
Colonel William G. Smollett:
Yes indeed, I do remember. What about him?
Jane Hilton:
He's a nice boy.
Colonel William G. Smollett:
A most interesting observation, Miss Hilton.
Jane Hilton:

Colonel William G. Smollett:
Young woman, I have handled men for 35 years, and I don't think I require any instructions on the subject, least of all about my own grandson!
Jane Hilton:
I was only trying to help! He respects you so much!
Colonel William G. Smollett:
Then I'll thank you to do the same and stop your intrusion in my affairs!
Jane Hilton:
If you only knew the first thing about psychology you'd know better than to try to browbeat him. Colonel Smollett! Colonel Smollett, if you'd only listen.
Colonel William G. Smollett:
You may advise your mother that henceforth I shall have a decent breakfast downtown for forty cents!
Jane Hilton:
I think you're a rude, mean, horrible, old goat!
