GILBEY. Not a bit of it. It was that woman.
JUGGINS. I can explain, sir. I must ask you to excuse the liberty; but I'm entertaining a small party to tea in my pantry.
MRS GILBEY. But youre not entertaining Master Bobby?
JUGGINS. Yes, madam.
GILBEY. Who's with him?
JUGGINS. Miss Knox, sir.
GILBEY. Miss Knox! Are you sure? Is there anyone else?
JUGGINS. Only a French marine officer, sir, and—er—Miss Delaney. [He places Gilbey's tea on the table before him]. The lady that called about Master Bobby, sir.
KNOX. Do you mean to say theyre having a party all to themselves downstairs, and we having a party up here and knowing nothing about it?
JUGGINS. Yes, sir. I have to do a good deal of entertaining in the pantry for Master Bobby, sir.
