Do you think I should have only a headache at this minute if I didn't! Look here, you've got to see me down the lane; that's the least you can do, my friend. Come into my house for a moment and shake hands with Hugh.
Aubrey.
What, is he here?
Mrs. Cortelyon.
He came through with us, to present himself formally to-morrow. Where are my gloves? [Aubrey fetches them from the ottoman.] Make my apologies to Mrs. Tanqueray, please. She's well, I hope? [Going towards the door.] I can't feel sorry she hasn't seen me in this condition.
Ellean enters.
Ellean.
[To Mrs. Cortelyon.] I've been waiting to wish you good-night. I was afraid I'd missed you.
Mrs. Cortelyon.
Good-night, Ellean.
