Colonel G. It is your lead, Miss Vaughn.
Mrs. V. Oh, just wait a moment. I want to know if fourth best has anything to do with playing fourth hand?
Colonel G. Nothing whatever.
Mr. T. Oh, fourth best is one of those things they’ve put in to make whist scientific. For my part, I don’t think there’s any fun—
Miss V. That’s just what I say. When I play whist I want to have a good time, and not feel as if I were going through an examination at a scientific school. Oh, did you know we are going to have a whist figure at Janet Graham’s german, Mr. Talbot? Won’t that be fun?
Mr. T. I am sure then that you’ll be trump.
Miss V. Thank you.
Mrs. V. How pretty!
Colonel G. It is your lead, Miss Vaughn.
