"
WINNIE: ...Ah well what a joy in any case to hear you laugh again, Willie, I was convinced I never would, you never would. (Pause.) I suppose some people might think us a triffle irreverent, but i doubt it. (Pause.) How can one better magnify the Almighty than by sniggering with him at his little jokes, particularly the poorer ones? (Pause.) I think you would back me up there , Willie. (Pause.) Or were we perhaps diverted by two quite different things? (Pause.) Oh well, what does it matter, that is what I always say, so long as one.. you know... what is that wonderful line... laughing wild... something something laughing wild amid severest woe. (Pause.)"
