I only want to know. I want to play my part like an English gentleman. Kissing in public--except the hand--is an atrocity, but if it has to be done it should be done firmly. No hesitations, no scrimmages. In fact there should always be a rehearsal. Very well. No kissing. Now about gloves-- (EDGAR: Yes, what are you going to wear, Leonard?) I shall wear a grey morning coat, trousers of about the same colour but exquisitely striped, white waistcoat, grey hat with narrow black band, an orchid--the best that money can buy--if anyone will lend me the money-- (EDGAR: Here, I say--) I know what you are going to say--that I ought just to dress up to you.
