QUEX.
Yes, yes, of course.
DUCHESS.
Well, do you remember the brand of the champagne you sipped while you
and I sat smoking?
QUEX.
Good lord, no!
DUCHESS.
"F�lix Poubelle, Carte d'Or." You remarked that it was a brand unknown
to you. Have you ever met it since, Harry?
QUEX.
Not that I--
DUCHESS.
Nor I till last night, at dinner. [_Impressively._] It is in this very
house.
QUEX.
[_With a slight shrug of the shoulders._] Extremely probable.
DUCHESS.
And do you remember how I was clad, that evening at Stockholm?
QUEX.
I am afraid I don't.
DUCHESS.
_Couleur de rose garnie de vert_. I have just such another garment with
me.
QUEX.
Really?
DUCHESS.
Do you remember in what month we were at Stockholm?
QUEX.
No.
DUCHESS.
June--this month. Nor the day of the week?
QUEX.
It must be ten years ago!
DUCHESS.
Wednesday. There stands the record in my diary.
QUEX.
Diary! good heavens, you are not so indiscreet--!
DUCHESS.
No, no--only the words, "warm evening." Yes, it was upon a Wednesday.
What is to-day?
QUEX.
Wednesday.
