(Looking at her hair, still up, surprised and grieved.)

(Freda laughs her silvery, scornful laughter. Vanderlip is puzzled, thinks she is teasing him.)
(Maid enters, unobserved by Vanderlip. Freda issues her order with her eyes, glancing at Vanderlip's bearskin overcoat hanging on wall to rear. Maid goes and gets coat and returns, still unobserved by Vanderlip, at the rear of whom she stands waiting.)
