Lady Twombley.

Pa, what shall we do?

Dowager.

Do? The head of the Clan Macphail! Eighty thousand acres! Julian?

Lady Twombley.

[To herself.] If it would provide for Imogen before the smash!

Dowager.

If Imogen is a high-minded girl she will be mad with delight.

Lady Twombley.

Will she? [To herself.] Ah! and will she learn to look down on pa and me when we’re aged paupers?
