[Not hearing Peggy, but still eyeing Dinah.] That girl has a look of Emma's sister Susan. [Peggy and Mallory go out. Reginald seeing Rankling is still looking at Dinah, abruptly takes her over to the door, glaring at Rankling as he passes.]

REGINALD.

[To Dinah, fiercely.] Come away, Dinah!

DINAH.

[To Reginald, tearfully.] Oh, Reggie, dear Reggie, you are so different when people are not present. [They go out. Rankling watches them through the doorway. Gwendoline has meanwhile seated herself beside Saunders, whose head has gradually fallen till it rests upon her shoulder. She is now sitting quite still, looking down upon the boy's face.]

ERMYNTRUDE.

[Watching them enviously.] Well, considering that Mr. Saunders was introduced to us asleep, I don't think Gwendoline's behaviour is coînme il faut! [She bumps gently against Rankling.] Oh!

RANKLING.

[Looking at Ermyntrude, rather dazed.] My dear, I am quite glad to see somebody who isn't like any of my relations. Come along. [They go out. Saunders moves dreamily and murmurs.]

SAUNDERS.
