Dinah. Hear, hear!
Lady Marden (to George). Isn't it that girl's bed-time yet?
Olivia (to Dinah and taking her hand). We'll let her sit up a little longer if she's good.
Dinah. I will be good, Olivia (aggressively to Lady Marden), only I thought anybody, however important a debate was, was allowed to say "Hear, hear!"
George (coming down C.). Really, Olivia, I really think we could discuss this better if Mr. Strange took Dinah out for a walk. Strange, If you–er——
Olivia. Tell them what you have settled first, George.
Lady Marden. Settled? What is there to be settled? It settles itself.
George (sadly). That's just it.
Lady Marden. The marriage must be annulled–is that the word, George?
George. I presume so. (Sits on stool C.)
