  [Hyacinth has been looking out of the window using binoculars] 

  Hyacinth : He's gone to Thirty-Five.

  Richard : Uh, who has?

  Hyacinth : The postman! That's every day this week he's been to Thirty-Five. He's bound to have something for us this morning.

  Richard : Well, if he has, he'll deliver it; if not, he'll go past again.

  Hyacinth : I won't have him walking past again. Not when he's been every day to number Thirty-Five.

  Richard : I like him walking past; another day without a bill. Huh. I feel quite festive every time he walks past.

  Hyacinth : *I* have to hold my head up in this community. I'm looked up to. What are they going to think if I go three days without mail?

  Richard : It's probably only junk mail going to Thirty-Five.

  Hyacinth : Richard, that is neither here nor there. I will not have my junk mail going to other people's houses.
