O'Dwyer.
[Instantly calm.] You are, darlin'. [O'Dwyer takes his place at the prompt-table, book in hand. Imogen and Rose stand together in the center. The other members of the company come from the Greenroom and stand in the wings, watching the rehearsal.] Now then! [Reading from the manuscript.] "At the opening of the play Peggy and Dora are discovered——" Who's Peggy? [Excitedly.]
Where's Peggy? Am I to——?
Imogen.
Here I am! here I am! I am Peggy.
O'Dwyer.
[Calm.] Of course ye are, lovey—ma'am, I should say——
Imogen.
Yes, you should.
