a few minutes ago:
old man, fellow of college, whom i've never met before:   [chat chat chat]
self:  [chat chat chat]
old man's colleague, whom i recognize but to whom i cannot attach a name:  [makes a gesture of departing and heads for the door]
old man's friend? wife? some woman affiliated with him in some way, with whom i have also been chatting:  Your chauffeur is leaving.
old man:  Oh, my -- it's not fair!  Every time I meet a charming young lady, my chauffeur wants to leave!


and, earlier:
emeritus fellow with whom i am friendly:  I was going to say the nicest thing I could possibly say, which is that [the soft cap which used to be worn by women instead of the mortarboard and is still chosen by many women, self included] looks very fetching on you.


Hee!
