Oh, clear out. As Maud is departing. Hi! Rising and kicking off her shoes and sending them in Maud’s direction. Fetch me a pair of slippers.
Maud.
Picking up the shoes and chuckling. He, he, he!
When Maud reaches the door, which she has left open, Gladys appears with the tea-tray and with Farncombe at her heels.
Gladys.
To Maud, in a low voice, witheringly. Oh, you’re doing something, are you?
Maud.
In the same tone, passing Gladys. Yes, setting you an example, my girl. Encountering Farncombe. Beg pardon.
Maud withdraws, closing the door, and Farncombe stands looking at Lily, who is talking to Jimmie. Gladys carries the tray to the tea-table.
Lily.
