I should think so. I suppose when gentlemen live alone they're pretty nearly always unwell, as it were. If it isn't a cold, it's stomach, I expect. And truly, I'm not surprised, the way they go on! Now, will you sit down in that chair and keep your legs covered--August or no August! If you ask me, it's influenza you're sickening for. (Sound of distant orchestral.) Music? (CARVE: Well, and what's the news from outside? I haven't stirred since yesterday noon.) Seems to me there's no news except your Mr. Carve's death. (CARVE: Really! Is it so much talked about as all that?) It's on all the posters--very big. All along Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square and the Strand the newspaper boys, and the newspaper old men too, are wearing it like aprons, as it were. I read the Telegraph myself. There was nearly a page of it in the Telegraph.
