Hyacinth:
[On the phone] Am I through to the Thorgunby residence? [Smiles] Well, what a timid little voice! Now run along, Poppet, and tell your Mummy Mrs. Thorgunby that there's a nice lady wanting to speak with her. [Jumps, startled] Oh, you ARE Mrs. Thorgunby. [laughs] Yes, this is Hyacinth. [pause] Bouquet, dear. [pause again] Richard's wife. [pause again] Yes, Richard, your husband's deputy in the department of Finance and General Purposes. [pause again] Yes, THAT Hyacinth. Oh, there's a funny noise on the line, Dear. Sounds like someone in pain. [Strikes the phone receiver a few times] That's better. Now, I'm just ringing to remind you - you promised to drop in with your husband over the Christmas period, to partake of mulled wine and hot mince pies. Come at any time that suits you, Mrs. Thorgunby. Goodbye! [Hangs up] What a silly little voice!
