Darbey.

Delighted, my dear Dean—delighted!

[The Dean gives Darbey a severe look, and with an important cough walks into the Library. The men and the girls speak in undertones.

Tarver.

[Depressed.] Now, what will happen to-night?

Salome.

Why, don’t you see, as you will have to drive over to dine, you will both be here, on the spot, ready to take us back to Durnstone?

[The Dean sits at his desk in the Library.

Darbey.

Of course; when we’re turned out we can hang about in the lane till you’re ready.
