[Weeping.] That’s the worst of it, I can’t.

Mr. Posket.

[To Agatha Posket.] My darling, you will be delighted. A note from Colonel Lukyn.

Agatha Posket.

Lukyn—Lukyn? I seem to know the name.

Mr. Posket.

An old schoolfellow of mine who went to India many years ago. He has just come home. I met him at the club last night and asked him to name an evening to dine with us. He accepts for to-morrow.

Agatha Posket.

Lukyn, Lukyn?

Mr. Posket.
