I give it up!

[_Sits, pushes hat on back of head, consults guide-book._]

+The Husband.+

[_Entering from the right, followed by the wife._]

We’ll cut the rest. We’ve seen

Enough to say we’ve seen them! And go get

A cup of tea, if decent tea is found

In Paris!

+The Wife.+

I should like a bun, if one

Can find one!

+The Husband.+

[_Dogmatically._]

Bun is a French word.

I’ve heard it frequently!

+The Wife.+

But bun in French

Does not mean English bun!

+The Husband.+

[_With finality._]

In English, French,--

In any language bun means bun! What else

Could bun mean, except bun--just bun!

+Glove Young Man.+

[_Closes guide-book, rising._]

Since English doesn’t work

I’ll try my French! Ahem! Pardon, monsieur!

Comprenez-vous anglais?

[_Speaking laboriously._]

+The Husband.+

Certainly not!

How dare you ask me! Come!

[_Leads wife away, to the left._]

+Glove Young Man.+
