"A scandal, my dear Reginald, is as much to be avoided at Monaco or any of those places as at Exeter, let us say." "Scandal, my dear Irene  I may call you Irene, mayn't I?" "I don't know that you have known me long enough for that." A SCANDAL MY DEAR REGINALD IS AS MUCH TO BE AVOIDED AT MONACO OR ANY OF THOSE PLACES AS AT EXETER LET US SAY SCANDAL MY DEAR IRENE I MAY CALL YOU IRENE MAYN'T I I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN ME LONG ENOUGH FOR THAT
et a whole shoal of whitebait you had last known at Prince's! I'm sure in my nervousness I should talk of nothing but lemons. Still, I daresay they would be quite as offended if one hadn't eaten them. I know if I were served up at a cannibal feast I should be dreadfully annoyed if anyone found fault with me for not being tender enough, or having been kept too long." "My idea about the lecture," resumed the Duchess hurriedly, "is to inquire whether promiscuous Continental travel doesn't tend to weaken the moral fibre of the social conscience. There are people one knows, quite nice people when they are in England, who are so _different_ when they are anywhere the other side of the Channel." "The people with what I call Tauchnitz morals," observed Reginald. "On the whole, I think they get the best of two very desirable worlds. And, after all, they charge so much for excess luggage on some of those foreign lines that it's really an economy to leave one's reputation behind one occasionally.
