[Mary has brought oranges as a present for Matty and Deborah]

Miss Deborah Jenkyns:
I would prefer it if I did not enjoy oranges. Consuming them is a most incommodious business.

Miss Matty Jenkyns:
There is not such a lot of juice, Deborah dear - only when they are sliced with a knife.

Mary Smith:
At home we make a little hole in our oranges and we suck them.

[Deborah looks horrified]

Miss Matty Jenkyns:
That is the way I like to take them best, but Deborah says it is vulgar and altogether too redolent of a ritual undertaken by little babies. My sister does not care for the expression

[whispers]

Miss Matty Jenkyns:
"suck".

Miss Deborah Jenkyns:
[primly] We will repair to our rooms... and consume our fruit in solitude.

[embarrassed, Deborah gets up and leaves the table]
