Pollyooly's eyes opened wider and grew uncommonly limpid. She said: "Oh, I've been out to lunch with him and to the Varolium from the Temple." "You have, have you?" said the duke bitterly. "I'm hanged if I know what the world's coming to!" Pollyooly said nothing. She looked at him solemnly as if impressed by his difficulty. He gazed at her gloomily.
"But she can't go to the workhouse," said Pollyooly in a deeply shocked tone. "Why not?" said the duke. Pollyooly looked at him very sternly, and said in a very stern voice: "Her mother was a very respectable woman; she was in the second row of the Varolium ballet for years and years; and she always kept Millie very respectable. Besides, you can't let people go to the workhouse."
"Yes: her name is Millicent Saunders; and they wanted to send her to the workhouse because her mother died who used to dance at the Varolium in the second row, but of course I couldn't let them do that, could I?" said Pollyooly in an explanatory tone. "I don't know. What's it got to do with me?" said the duke quickly.
