Six Plays by Alan Bennett: Doris and Doreen (1.2, LWT, 1978)
"I still wonder about Mrs. Henstridge. She did have a daughter, doesn't she? She was in an accident. Or did she get married? I know the hat came round."
"They wouldn't send the hat round for a daughter, her daughter never worked here."
"They send the hat round for famine victims, and they don't work here."
"They send the hat round for all sorts these days. I hope they send the hat round for me when my time comes. If it isn't a wedding, it's a famine. Earthquakes practically twice a week these days. Never stops. Ethiopia, what have we got to do with Ethiopia?"
"I just have this feeling I chipped in for a spread."
