Ah! we know your value, Mr. Hopper. We wish there were more like you. It would make life so much easier. Do you know, Mr. Hopper, dear Agatha and I are so much interested in Australia. It must be so pretty with all the dear little kangaroos flying about. Agatha has found it on the map. What a curious shape it is! Just like a large packing case. However, it is a very young country, isn’t it? (HOPPER: Wasn’t it made at the same time as the others, Duchess?) How clever you are, Mr. Hopper. You have a cleverness quite of your own. Now I mustn’t keep you. (HOPPER: But I should like to dance with Lady Agatha, Duchess.) Well, I hope she has a dance left. Have you a dance left, Agatha?
