TO H. F. RUBINSTEIN
SQUARE PEGS
SCENE. A Garden. Entrance right and left. Left, a table and two chairs. (The general effect should suggest a little lawn which leads outward in several directions.)
(The arrival of a taxicab is heard, off. Enter, left, HILDA in summer hat and dress and with a light cloak on her arm. She carries a folding-map and a small book.)
HILDA (speaking off, left). What's that? 'The taximeter points,' you say,
'To fifteen shillings'? Well, didn't I pay
A pound? What? No, I haven't 'made a slip.'
Surely five shillings was a handsome tip.
