BLAYNE. That's just what he would do, damn him. Oh! I say, Anthony, you pretend to know everything. Have you heard about Gaddy? ANTHONY. No. Divorce Court at last? BLAYNE. Worse. He's engaged! ANTHONY. How much? He can't be! BLAYNE. He is. He's going to be married in a few weeks. Markyn told me at the Judge's this evening. It's pukka. ANTHONY. You don't say so? Holy Moses!
Any one at the Judge's, Blayne? BLAYNE. Cockley and his memsahib looking awfully white and fagged. 'Female girl couldn't catch the name on her way to the Hills, under the Cockleys' charge the Judge, and Markyn fresh from Simla disgustingly fit. CURTISS. Good Lord, how truly magnificent! Was there enough ice? When I mangled garbage there I got one whole lump nearly as big as a walnut.
What had Markyn to say for himself? BLAYNE. 'Seems that every one is having a fairly good time up there in spite of the rain. By Jove, that reminds me! I know I hadn't come across just for the pleasure of your society. News! Great news! Markyn told me. DOONE. Who's dead now? BLAYNE. No one that I know of; but Gaddy's hooked at last! DROPPING CHORUS. How much? The Devil!
Let's hear the details. BLAYNE. She's a girl daughter of a Colonel Somebody. DOONE. Simla's stiff with Colonels' daughters. Be more explicit. BLAYNE. Wait a shake. What was her name? Three something. Three CURTISS. Stars, perhaps. Gaddy knows that brand. BLAYNE. Threegan Minnie Threegan. MACKESY. Threegan! Isn't she a little bit of a girl with red hair? BLAYNE. 'Bout that from what Markyn said.
Markyn was pulling your leg. Not GADDY! Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Theodore, the gift o' God! Our Phillup! It's been given out up above. Women will give out anything. What does accused say? BLAYNE. Markyn told me that he congratulated him warily one hand held out, t'other ready to guard. Gaddy turned pink and said it was so. CURTISS. Poor old Gaddy! They all do it. Who's she?
