- Are you going to spend the weekend with Mrs Saltpen-Jago? I'm sure you'll have a good time; she has a reputation for being a fantastic hostess. She'll come in handy for that Parliamentary project —- hullo, you're off. Goodbye.
- I can manage that
- You've lost something haven't you?
- I heard you were going to Brill Manor to stay with Mrs. Saltpen-Jago? You know my mother. We'll meet on Monday, I'll be there. My mother hasn't seen me in six months. I am Mrs. Saltpen-Jago's son . Something awful occurred.
- Thank you so much.
- My purse was forgotten. I had to seal a letter, my crest was in my purse, so I must have taken it out and left it. I will be gone fishing for few days and will spend few pounds. It would be fantastic if you could lend me two pounds.
- Well He hasn't opened his fishing expedition by catching a flat.
- That evening, I'd have an entertaining story to tell over dinner, and my ingenious little trap would gain me praise as a resourceful and bright man.

- By the way, what is your crest?
- I've no intention of lending you three pounds.
- I've never met your mother; I was introduced to her through political acquaintances.
- My suspicions had not yet been aroused, but the story about your crests had me on edge, so I set a trap for you by telling you that I had never met Mrs Saltpen-Jago. Last Monday, I met her for lunch. She is a natural blonde.
- She's supposed to look like me .She has the same dark hair and high color.
