After all, as he has never been a lover, why shouldn’t I see him and mention my engagement in a calm, cool, ladylike way? [Tearing up the letter passionately.] I must see him once more—in a calm, cool, ladylike way. I’ll write just a line asking him to come to me this morning.
[As she sits to write Lady Euphemia and Brooke stroll in again and meet each other.]
Lady Euphemia Vibart.
[To Brooke.] Good-morning.
Brooke Twombley.
[To Lady Euphemia.] Good-morning.
Lady Euphemia Vibart.
Why, it’s Imogen! Oh, let me congratulate you. [Kissing her.] The news is too delightful.
Imogen.
Thank you.
