Lady Euphemia Vibart.

Oh, Imogen!

Imogen.

It’s true. Every hour of the livelong day Aunt Dora has goaded me on to this desirable, detestable match; even at night she has stalked into my room with a lighted candle, startling me out of my beauty sleep, to tell me she will never rest till I am Lady Macphail.

Lady Euphemia Vibart.

Imogen, it’s too kind of mamma to take this interest in you.

Imogen.

Interest! It’s torture. And at last she threatened that if I married anybody else she would expire in great pain and appear to me constantly, a ghost, in her night-gown. Well, you’ve seen Aunt Dora in her night-gown—you can guess my feelings.

Lady Euphemia Vibart.

And that decided you.
