Good heavens, Tranto! How old are you? (TRANTO: Twenty-five.) A quarter of a century--and you haven't learnt that no position is impregnable against--er--the sex! You never know where the offensive will come, nor when, nor how. The offensive is bound to be a surprise. You aren't married. When you are you'll soon find out that being a husband is a whole-time job. That's why so many husbands fail. They can't give their entire attention to it. Tranto, my position must be still further strengthened--during dinner. It can't be strengthened too much. I've brought you into the conspiracy because you're on the spot and I want you to play up. (TRANTO: Certainly, sir.) The official letter might come by to-night's post. If it does, a considerable amount of histrionic skill will be needed.
