Cortelyon? Oh, yes. Cortelyon.
Mrs. Cortelyon.
[Carefully guarding herself throughout against any expression of resentment.] Aubrey ought to have told you that Alice Cortelyon and he are very old friends.
Paula.

Mrs. Cortelyon.
You know we are neighbours, Mrs. Tanqueray.
Paula.
Neighbours? Are we really? Won't you sit down? [They both sit.] Neighbours! That's most interesting!
Mrs. Cortelyon.
