Jaunty man in trench coat: Keeps the old muscles in shape.
Emily: Yes.
Jaunty man in trench coat: I’ve got a little treadmill myself.
Emily: Oh yes?
Jaunty man in trench coat: Keep it in the bedroom. Just have a little go on it now and then.
Emily: Right.
Jaunty man in trench coat: Keep yourself trim, that’s it, eh?
Emily: I suppose so.
Girl with hat: Excuse me, do you have cookery books.
