REGINALD.
My wife! [Reginald rushes down to Dinah and embraces her frantically. There is a general cry of relief as Mallory embraces Peggy, and Gwendoline throws her arms round Saunders. Suddenly there is the sound of some one stumbling downstairs, accompanied by a smothered exclamation.]
ALL.
[Listening.] What's that?
ERMYNTRUDE.
[Peeping out at the door.] Here's Uncle Vere got loose. He has fallen downstairs.
REGINALD.
Oh, bother! Come along, Dinah. [Reginald and Dinah, Saunders, Ermyntrude, and Gwendoline go out quickly.]
PEGGY.
[To Mallory.] Rather bad taste of your nephew and those girls to run after a newly-married couple, isn't it?
