Mr Plimsole: This anorexic you're meeting.
Henry Harry:Anorexia you mean?
Mr Plimsole: Yes, when d'you meet her?
Henry Harry: Oh, you know my friend from Harvard, Matilda?
Mr Plimsole: Yes, Spencer's girl.
Henry Harry: Well, Rexie came over to Boston with her.
Mr Plimsole: Bookish?
Henry Harry: Only that she has to read books for her studying.
Mr Plimsole: Its the best reason for reading. And you get marks for it too.
Henry Harry: Yes, I sometimes think marks should be out of eleven, not ten, as there's always
someone who comes along and does things better.
Mr Plimsole: Or maybe I should give her marks out of a hundred and ten, as in percent?
Henry Harry: Oh, you know its only possible to give a hundred percent.
Mr Plimsole: That's philosophical as well as mathematical. You must be broadening your studies.
