How do they take it?
Theophila.
All right—pretty well. Mother is lying down for a bit. She’ll be quite herself again in a few days.
Fraser.
[Thoughtfully.] A few days—will she? [Partly to himself.] In a few days?
Theophila.
She’ll have a week at Worthing. She’s always had a week at Worthing when we’ve been in any trouble. You’ve got your hat, Alec; do you mean to dine out?
Fraser.
To-night!
Theophila.
