Lady Euphemia, I join you in remembering the relationship—and the distance.

Lady Euphemia Vibart.

Oh, I don’t mean that, Mr. White. At any rate, we were excellent friends many years ago when our cousin Imogen used to give us tea in her school-room. She will be too rejoiced at your return.

Brooke Twombley.

[At the window.] Hullo, I think pa has come home.

Valentine White.

Good-by, Lady Euphemia.

Brooke Twombley.

I say, Effie, Mr. White won’t stay.

Lady Euphemia Vibart.
