  Cust : [at the front door]  Mrs Marbury?

  Rose Marbury : Mm.

  Cust : [entering]  Mr Cust.

  Rose Marbury : Rent is two and six a week, you pay up front and a week in hand.

  Cust : Ah.

  Rose Marbury : Some parcels got delivered for you. We took them up. I trust you're not going to be expecting that service regularly, carrying parcels. What do you think I am, a pack horse?

  Cust : You should have left them for me to carry.

  Rose Marbury : The brown paper items littering my vestibule? This is no post office.

  Cust : I'm very sorry to inconvenience you, Mrs Marbury.

  Rose Marbury : The front door is bolted at ten o'clock sharp. I don't hold with none of my gentlemen out carousing half the night. I don't hold with no topers and sots neither. Nor no bad language, profanities and blasphemies and the like. What I do hold with is old-fashioned manners. You mind your Ps and Qs and we'll get along nicely. The privy is in the yard. I prefer my gentlemen to not be cavalier in their use of the lavatory paper. It blocks up the pipes, and then who's got to get in there with a stick and break it up? Me, that's who. Are you just passing through or do you expect to be a long-term resident?

  Cust : That all depends.

  Rose Marbury : On what?

  Cust : The success of my enterprise.
