The Way to the Florist

  • Dominic: Can I show you the way to the florist?
  • Abélard: No, thank you. I tend a rose garden in my backyard.
  • Dominic: You must be a Casanova! Always a rose to charm the ladies.
  • Abélard: Hush, now. This is no place for such idle chatter. Please, will you point me to the newspaper office? I must attend to some business there.
  • Dominic: Three blocks yonder, on the right. Next-door to the town hall.
  • Abélard: Much obliged. (bows head, holding hat with one hand, and paces briskly away)
  • Dominic: (calling after) Take care not to lose your petals along the way!
