Duologue: Characters: SIR ROBERT CHILTERN, MRS CHEVELEY

SIR ROBERT CHILTERN: Are you going to any of our country houses before you leave England, Mrs Cheveley?

MRS CHEVELEY: Oh, no! I can’t stand your English house-parties. In England people actually try to be brilliant at breakfast. That is so dreadful of them! Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast. And  then the family skeleton is always reading family prayers. My stay in England really depends on you, Sir Robert. (Sits down on the sofa.)

SIR ROBERT CHILTERN: (Taking a seat beside her). Seriously?

MRS CHEVELEY: Quite seriously. I want to talk to you about a great political and financial scheme, about this Argentine  Canal Company, in fact.
