Enter Mrs. Selwyn and Grace.
Mrs. S. Painful as it is to go into these family matters before you, Mr. Tompkins. (Addressing Blithers.)
Blith. I beg your pardon—Blithers!
Sel. (coming down C. to Mrs. Selwyn). Yes, dear—Blithers—you are mixing things up!
Mrs. S. Well, Blithers, if you wish—my husband’s conduct last night with this Miss—I do not know her name——
Fred. (Bringing Lottie forward). Mrs. Bellamy!
Mrs. S. (astonished). Mrs. Bellamy!
Sel. (to Mrs. Selwyn). I told you, dear, you were mixing things up!
Mrs. S. (to Selwyn). But, Samuel, you confessed to me you met this lady——
Sel. I never saw her in all my life!
