Mr. Joseph Lebanon.
[To himself as he sits down.] Chatty! Chatty! I know what this’ll end in. It’ll end in my standin’ on my dignity. Where’s Fanny? [Addressing the others.] Talkin’ about shootin’, I’ll tell you an amusin’ little story.
Sir Julian Twombley.
[To Lady Twombley and others sotto voce.] No, no!
Mr. Joseph Lebanon.
It’s all about myself.
Brooke Twombley.
[Whispering to the others.] Good-bye. We’re off.
[There is a general movement, the ladies and Sir Julian saying good-bye to the shooters, unnoticed by Lebanon, who has his back to them.]
Mr. Joseph Lebanon.
