I wonder what she meant when she said Yes like that.
It was the way she said it: "Yeeeah," she said. Not "Yes" but "Yeeah-s"
I wonder if she meant No. Hhm...
I should've asked her what she meant, that's what I shoulda done.
That would have finished her off, wouldn't it!
I bet she's been here every year saying "Yeeah-s", just like that.
Driving people nearly bonkers. Getting away with it.
Gor, I wish I'd asked her, but I didn't think of it.
Mind you, if she'd said Maybe, I wouldn't have minded so much.
Well, I mean at least it's honest, ain't it!
A person says Maybe and you are on their side; you - you warm to them.
But not when they say "Yeeeeah-s". puts your back up.
Well, it's only natural, I suppose, really.
Hear! I wonder if she did it on purpose. I bet she did.
Probably at this very minute she's sitting there glorying in it.
Well, I'm not having that. I'm going to ring her up.
Gonna tell her, "Look here" I'll say, "If you can't do better than that, Dolly, you had better stay at home and watch the telly!"
Hhm... and that will shake her, yeah. Yeah I'll ring her.
...No—I won't. mean, why surely that's exactly what she wants.
I expect she's sitting on top of that phone like a broody hen.
Well, I'm not ringing her. Sh- she can wait. do her good.
On the other hand, last time she said yes she meant yes. Woah! (chuckles)
'Course that was Margot. She might've had something to do with it.
There's not much here in Hammersmith tube station.
Yeah and at Margate, may seem to think she said "oh yes"
Yeah yeah she did yeah. Mm.
I know! I will ring her and I'll not mention it.
You know, then she'll have to. Yeah.
Well, supposing she doesn't.
Well now, she's bound to, ain't she.
Well, she... she might not. Hhm.
Well then, I'll— I'll say... um... er... no.
No, it's too risky, ain't it. Yeah.
Hear! Hear, wait a minute. Look! er...
Suppose I pretend not to have noticed, hey?
Yeah yeah yeah that's it yeah.
Then she'll never know whether I knew—unless she asks. ha ha!
Yeah, that's the way to play it, isn't it: Dead casual.
Keep her in suspense a bit. Haw-haw-haw-haw-haw!
Yeah, that'll just about do the trick, I think.
Naw, naw, that's marvellous.
Yeah, I- I wonder what she meant.
