She's so mean about Dexter.

He was rather mean to her, my dear.

Did he really sock her?

Please, Dinah.

Did he really?

Darling. You go out and wait in the car.

The papers were full of 'innundo.'

Of what?

Of 'innundo.' 'Cruelty and drunkenness,' it said. She's sort of, well you know, hard, isn't she?

Certainly not. Tracy sets exceptionally high standards for herself, that's all. And other people aren't always quite apt to live up to them.

But don't you think it's stinking not at least to want father?

Yes, darling. Between ourselves, I think it's good and stinking.
