Ellean.
You—you are very surprised to see me, Paula, of course.
Paula.
Why are you here? Why aren't you with—your friend?
Ellean.
I've come home—if you'll have me. We left Paris this morning; Mrs. Cortelyon brought me back. She was here a minute or two ago; papa has just gone with her to The Warren. He asked me to tell you.
Paula.
There are some people staying with us that I'd rather you didn't meet. It was hardly worth your while to return for a few hours.
Ellean.
