[He remarks curiously, not because it seems like a ridiculous idea for such a man but because he wishes to know what would make such a man decide to settle down. Without a wife or so sounds the implication. Alfred removes his hat too after Lawrence. Mentor and guide, one leads and another follows. Orange shakes his head at the mention of ladyship.]
I court no one. [Say it boldly and they will think it is because love is a dunghill and he a cock who climbs upon it to crow. That's what Alfred Newendyke is supposed to emulate. His execution of the concept when Lawrence Dimick is about is not so smooth.] Save for an indulgence in fantastic stories. I think that may be what I will do, recline and read. Perhaps in Spain too, since the weather seems so accommodating.
[The way Orange speaks suggests he is allowing Blanc a small well kept secret.] Wine?
[Alfred requires the distraction lest he show his hand again.]
