 Will you get various rooms ready? I shall have to. They can't sleep in the passage. How we've upset Clara. I can't be helped. Nothing can be helped. It's fate. Everything that happens is fate. That's always a great comfort to me. More like arrant selfishness. You mustn't be pert, Clara. Pert I may be, but I have got some thought for others. Eight for dinner? Amy going home early? It's more nor less than an imposition.
