Iris Henderson: I was having tea about an hour ago with an English lady. You saw her, didn't you? Charters: Well, I don't know, I mean, I was talking to my friend, wasn't I? Caldicott: Indubitably. Iris Henderson: Yes, but you were sitting at the next table. She turned and borrowed the sugar. You must remember. Charters: Yes, I recall passing the sugar. Iris Henderson: Well then you saw her. Charters: I repeat we were deep in conversation. We were discussing cricket. Iris Henderson: Well, I don't see how a thing like cricket can make you forget seeing people. Charters: Oh, don't you? If that's your attitude, there's nothing more to be said! Come Caldicott. "A thing like cricket!" Gilbert: Wrong tactics. We should've told him we were looking for a lost cricket ball.
