Smith. Oh, I begin to see.
Phyllis. It was the night that I had just announced my engagement to Mr. Tarver.--Bobby was so witty about poor old Celia having to wear another pair of Green Stockings at my wedding----
Smith. Ah--h-- Then there are other sisters?
Phyllis. Yes, there's Madge. She is between Celia and myself.
Smith. Engaged?
Phyllis. More than engaged--married. And then comes Evelyn.
Smith. Married?
Phyllis. Much more than married. (Smith stares.) A widow.
Smith. And Miss Celia is the eldest of you all?
Phyllis. Oh, yes. Well, the moment after Celia was told of my engagement, she announced hers.
