Here, mamma.

Dowager.

[Embracing Imogen.] My favorite niece! I have just learned your decision over the breakfast-table. I was eating cold grouse at the moment; I thought I should have choked.

Dowager.

Thoroughly. I feel now that I shall die, a great many years hence, a contented woman. Effie.

Lady Euphemia Vibart.

Yes, mamma?

Dowager.
