Morris Finsbury: I collect eggs, Doctor.
Doctor Pratt: Eggs, yes. Oh, I enjoy an egg myself, yes. They don't make good pets, though; you can never get them in at night.


Doctor Pratt: Well, it'll cost you five shillings.
Morris Finsbury: Price is no object.
Doctor Pratt: Right. Ten shillings, then. Payable in advance.
