Mrs. Cortelyon.

Insufferably hot! Paris is pleasant enough. We've had no letter from you!

Aubrey.

I wrote to Ellean a week ago.

Mrs. Cortelyon.

Without alluding to the subject I had written to you upon.

Aubrey.

[Thinking.] Ah, of course——

Mrs. Cortelyon.

And since then we've both written and you've been absolutely silent. Oh, it's too bad!
