From The Sleeping-Car: A Farce by William Dean Howells

female · comedic · 43 sec

Of course it's Willis. (MR: ROBERTS. Do you think so, my dear?) I know it. Didn't you notice how he looked at your card? And I want you to go at once and speak to him, and turn the tables on him. (MR. ROBERTS: I--I'd rather not, my dear.) Why, Edward, what can you mean?
