-
Sir Percy Blakeney : [Lord Richard and Fleury are fencing heatedly. Sir Percy stops them] Gentlemen, really, really! You might have hurt one another.
Fleury : I regret that in the heat of the engagement, I forgot my duty to my so assiduous host!
[He leaves]
Sir Percy Blakeney : Fleury's a gentleman. It's always dangerous when a gentleman gets angry.
Lord Richard Hastings : You can't blame me!
Sir Percy Blakeney : Really?
Lord Richard Hastings : Well, I haven't done anything for him to get angry about!
Sir Andrew Ffoulkes : Perhaps not, but I expect he's heard the gossip.
Lord Richard Hastings : What gossip?
Sir Andrew Ffoulkes : About you and Madame Fleury.
Lord Richard Hastings : What utter nonsense! I admire her tremendously. I think she's beautiful, charming, intelligent, but that's all!
Sir Percy Blakeney : That's all?
Lord Richard Hastings : Who's been saying these things? I'll, I'll have him out! I'll challenge him!
Sir Percy Blakeney : That will be rather difficult, won't it? Considering the Prince of Wales, amongst others, expressed his disapproval.
Lord Richard Hastings : Why can't people mind their own business? I thought at least that you would understand.
Sir Percy Blakeney : Perhaps I do.
Lord Richard Hastings : No, you don't! There you sit, cool and calm in your Olympian aloofness. You don't know what it means to love!
Sir Percy Blakeney : Very well, then, let's say that, um, I do know that Madame Fleury is the wife of one of my friends and if that seems a rather old-fashioned attitude... let's say she's not worth it.
Lord Richard Hastings : I'll challenge you for that!
[Grabs Sir Percy and is pushed off him by Sir Andrew]
Sir Andrew Ffoulkes : Now, Richard, behave yourself!
Sir Percy Blakeney : I've better things to do than answer your foolish challenges. Andrew and I are going to France. Now, listen, Richard, I don't want to be a spoilsport but this isn't particularly sporting.
