Betty. The two gentlemen, Mr. Baxter and Mr. Devenish, have both called together, ma'am.
Belinda (excited). Oh! How–how very simultaneous of them!
Delia (eagerly, going towards house). Oh, do let me see them!
Belinda (stopping her). Darling, you'll see plenty of them before you've finished. (To Betty in an exaggerated whisper.) What have you done with them?
Betty. They're waiting in the hall, ma'am, while I said I would see if you were at home.
Belinda. All right, Betty. Give me two minutes and then show them out here.
Betty. Yes, ma'am.
(Betty crosses below Belinda and Delia and exits into the house.)
Belinda (taking Delia down R. a step). They can't do much harm to each other in two minutes.
Delia (taking her hat from table). Well, I'll go and unpack. (She goes back to Belinda.) You really won't mind my coming down afterwards?
