Pass the wine.

Talking of ladies, what do you think of my wife?
Did you ever see such distinguished manners before?
My dear fellow, I have taken a fancy to you.

Shake hands.

I'll tell you another little anecdote.

Where do you think my wife picked up her fashionable airs and graces?
Ho! ho! On the stage! The highest branch of the profession, sir--a tragic actress.
