Lily.
H’m! I know what you men are.
Maud, a buxom young woman with a good-tempered face, dressed as a lady’s-maid, enters quickly, tying her apron, and runs to Lily. Jeyes comes to the further side of the writing-table and Von Rettenmayer now joins him there. Jimmie Birch also comes forward, accompanied by De Castro.
Maud.
To Lily. Here, give me your things. Lily tosses her hat, scarf, and gloves to Maud. I was in my room, having a lie down. Is my hair untidy?
Lily.
I’ve never seen it anything else.
Maud.
Merrily. Ha, ha, ha! To Jimmie and De Castro. Afternoon, Miss Jimmie. Afternoon, Mr. de Castro. To Lily. Now, don’t let them all tire you to death, there’s a pet.
Lily.
