I have a motive for asking. I and my family accompany Sir Julian and Lady Twombley to lend weight and support.

Mr. Melton.

[To Sir Julian.] You leave here at twelve, reaching the new street at half-past. You speak from the cluster of lamps by St. Jude’s Church.

Dowager.

Sir Julian Twombley.

I hope so. Have you written it, Melton? [Melton hands him the sheets of paper.] Thank you. The usual thing, I suppose?

Mr. Melton.
