SHEILA. The new hat. The new hat. How jolly!
[She begins to open the box.]
ADA. You’d better speak to him while you think about it.
EDGAR. He’s no good at ceremonial clothes. I believe he’s only got a frock coat.
SHEILA. Oh! don’t let us have a frock coat. I should never forget it.
ADA. I’ll go for him. I’ll fetch him.
SHEILA. Yes, do, Ada. No time like the present. [ADA goes out.] Edgar, I wish Leonard wasn’t coming to the wedding.
EDGAR. But, my dear girl—
SHEILA. Oh! I know. I know. Of course he must be best man. It would be all wrong if he wasn’t but somehow he’s so queer and different and I don’t feel safe with him and I don’t know what he’ll do or say. Of course he can be charming. I think he’s a flirt. You always know when he’s in the room.
