Mrs. D. What do you require?

Philip. Go in there. I must leave you now. I shall return—Adieu!

Augusta. Pray, Sir, stop!

Mrs. D. Where are you going, my dear friend?

Philip [with forced coldness]. A short way. [Looking at his watch] In half an hour I shall return. Should I not—but you will certainly see me then. [Exit, leading Mrs. D. and Augusta to the door.]
