Mrs. S. Do I disturb you?

Blith. Not at all, ma’am, its only about——

Sel. (anxiously interrupting). Somebody is calling you, dear!

Mrs. S. I don’t think so! (To Blithers.) What were you saying, sir?

Blith. It’s merely a mistake about a hat.

Sel. (aside). Would it were down his throat!

Blith. I want my own in exchange!

Mrs. S. Of course, my husband explained all about it, in fact, he was going to send it back!

Sel. (anxious to get rid of him). Oh, yes! You may rely on having it sent back, so if you will——(points to door, Blithers is about to go.)

Mrs. S. No! The gentleman had better wait now. Pray sit down, sir, Mr. Bellamy will return soon with your hat.
