"How do you do, my dear!"

"Putty well, thank you." [They kiss.]

"Very well, thank you."

"Pleasant to-day."

"Yes, very bright—but we had a shower yesterday."

"Are all your people well?"

"Quite well, thank you; how are yours?"

"Very well, I'm obliged to you."

"Have you seen Mary B--- lately?"

"No, but I've seen Susan C----."

"You don't say so! Is she well?"

"Very well, I believe." [Rising.]

"Must you go?"

"Yes, indeed; I have seven calls to make."

"Do call again soon."

"Thank you—but you don't call on me once in an age."

"Good bye."
