I hear from your aunt that Mrs. Allingham—this man Allingham’s wife!—generously offers to take you under her wing. Is it so?
Theophila.
[Leaning back, her eyes closed.] Aunt brought me a message to that effect from Mrs. Allingham this morning.
Fraser.
What answer did you send?
Theophila.
None; I am going to see Mrs. Allingham.
Fraser.
I think I understand.
Theophila.
