Hermit #1: Hello, are you a hermit by any chance?
Hermit #2: Yes that’s right. Are you a hermit?
Hermit #1: Yes, I certainly am.
Hermit #2: Well I never. What are you getting away from?
Hermit #1: Oh you know, the usual - people, chat, gossip, you know.
Hermit #2: Oh I certainly do - it was the same with me. I mean there comes a time when you realize there’s no good frittering your life away in idleness and trivial chit-chat. Where’s your cave?
Hermit #1: Oh, up the goat track, first on the left.
Hermit #2: Oh they’re very nice up there, aren’t they?
Hermit #1: Yes they are, I’ve got a beauty.
Hermit #2: A bit drafty though, aren’t they?
Hermit #1: No, we’ve had ours insulated.
Hermit #2: Oh yes.
Hermit #1: Yes, I used birds’ nests, moss and oak leaves round the outside.
Hermit #2: Oh, sounds marvellous.
Hermit #1: Oh it’s a treat, it really is, ‘cos otherwise those stone caves can be so grim.
Hermit #2: Yes they really can be, can’t they? They really can.
