Oh, quite as you please. [Giving him her hand.] But you are really too impetuous.

Brooke Twombley.

Lady Euphemia Vibart.

[Languidly turning her cheek toward him.] Of course. Be careful of my hair—it will not be dressed again before lunch.

[He kisses her cheek cautiously. Imogen rises without seeing them.]

Lady Euphemia Vibart.

[To Brooke.] Somebody.

[They stroll away in opposite directions.]

Imogen.
