Dowager.

Earl of Drumdurris.

Another tooth. [Egidia closes her eyes. The Dowager kisses her upon the brow.] I offered Lady Macphail and Sir Colin the use of my brougham, but they preferred coming on here in their chariot.

Lady Twombley.

Lady Macphail and Sir Colin! Coming here!

Dowager.

[To Lady Twombley.] I haven’t told you what I’ve done. Keith!

Earl of Drumdurris.

[Bowing.] Certainly.
