JILL. I've got one, Miss Pinniger . . . nearly right . . . except for some of the figures.
GOVERNESS. Well, we shall have to spend more time at our lessons, that's all. This afternoon—ah—er——
(She stands up as AUNT JANE and the DOCTOR come in.)
AUNT JANE. I'm sorry to interrupt lessons, Miss Pinniger, but I have brought the Doctor to see Geraldine. (To DOCTOR) You will like her to go to her room?
DOCTOR. No, no, dear lady. There is no need. Her pulse—(He feels it)——dear, dear! Her tongue—(She puts it out)—tut-tut! A milk diet, plenty of rice-pudding, and perhaps she would do well to go to bed this afternoon.
AUNT JANE. I will see to it, doctor.
JILL (mutinously). I feel quite well.
DOCTOR (to AUNT JANE). A dangerous symptom. Plenty of rice-pudding.
GOVERNESS. Oliver was coughing just now.
OLIVER (to himself). Shut up!
