Mr Banks said he did not know much about Mrs Hunn's capacity as a talker, but he felt certain that Mrs Banks couldn't hold her tongue for ten minutes, excepting when she was asleep, and even then she always talked a little. So it was agreed to make a trial, Hunn to pay for a silk dress if Mrs Banks spoke first, and Banks to pay for it if Mrs. Hunn spoke first. When the match was proposed, Mr. Hunn suggested that the contestants should go into training ; but Banks protested, upon the ground that if Mrs Banks got to trying too hard to keep quiet it would kill her. The contest took place in Mr Hunn's dining-room, the two ladies sitting opposite to each other. When the signal was given Mrs Banks was in the midst of some remarks about the cheapness of calico, but she broke off short, and by holding her hand over her mouth resolutely, suppressed a powerful impulse to finish the sentence. There was profound silence for ten minutes and then Mrs Hunn started to say something, but, remembering hereof, she turned it off by pretending that she was clearing her throat. Mr Hunn claimed the stakes upon the ground that it was a foul, but Banks objected. Then Hunn with malignant ingenuity started a discussion with Banks about spring bonnets, and as they talked it was noticed Mrs Hunn had to hold on tightly to the chair to restrain herself, while Mrs Banks was absolutely pale from suppressed emotion. This having failed, Banks turned the conversation on to the infamous price of butter, with a diabolical purpose to strike Mrs Banks in the weakest point. It soon became apparent that the strain upon her nervous system was terrible. Violent twitchings were observable about the muscles of her mouth, and Banks felt certain for a moment 6

that he was going to win but Mrs Banks suddenly rose and pounded the dinner table half a dozen times vigorously with her fist, and this seemed to give such relief to her feelings that she became quite calm again. Mrs Hunn meantime had her fingers in her ears. She recognised that as her only hope. A brief discussion of the servant girl question of the incapacity of servants and the awful dimensions of the wages followed but both contestants held out although Mrs Hunn rushed to the cupboard and getting a piece of paper wrote on it "I must scream! Is screaming allowed?" Banks said it wasn't and then Mr Hunn burst into an extravagant eulogy of Mrs Hunn's present servant girl with such effect that Mrs Hunn became partially hysterical. But she succeeded in holding her tongue. And then Hunn with unparalleled brutality actually contrived to upset a bottle of ink all over the carpet. Mrs Hunn bounded from her chair and shook her fist at him and when he laughed she flew round the room at the rate of sixty knots an hour dishevelling her back hair and behaving wildly. Hunn thought she would succumb but she didn't. It nearly choked her but she didn't emit a sound. Banks little Harry was playing in the garden, waiting for his parents to come out, and when he saw him, a happy thought struck Banks. He went out and persuaded Mrs Jones, next door, just for fun, etc., etc., etc., to spank Harry, and to do it in front of the window where Mrs Banks sat. When Mr Hunn saw Mrs Banks rise right up and charge through the side door upon Mrs Jones, he felt that he might as well throw up the sponge but as Mrs Jones succeeded in getting away before the indignant mother reached her and as Mrs Banks found that she could expend her fury by indulgence in frantic pantomime expressive of her purpose to annihilate the entire Jones family at the earliest practicable moment, Banks began to feel less confident. Half-an-hour had expired and both contestants although evidently suffering acutely held out bravely. Mr Hunn saw that a single bold stroke would give the victory to either one side or the other. He rang the bell on the table. Mrs Hunn's servant came in. She was a good-looking servant rather uncommonly good-looking, and Mrs Hunn was - well, homely. As the girl entered Hunn - brute and ruffian that he was - went up to her, put his arm around her waist and kissed her. Mrs Hunn grew white about the lips, and her foot beat a wild tattoo upon the floor. Then Hunn chucked the servant under the chin and kissed her again. With one bound Mrs Hunn leaped between them and hurling the girl aside she exclaimed - "Out of the house this instant, you hussy, or I'll break every bone of your body!" And then, turning to Hunn she said, "Who wants your old silk dresses?" Then she followed the Servant from the room in fury. Banks gave in - he had lost, but as he went home he whispered to Hunn:- "You've won, old fellow, but I wouldn't be in your place for the amount of the National Debt."
