Ethel. Don't know. I've promised two men, but I haven't made up my mind who I'll dance with yet.
Fanshaw. A nice person to engage for a partner. [Calling.] Trimmins!
Ethel. Sh-h! He's one of the men I've promised.
Fanshaw. [Laughing.] Never mind. I'm the other. [All laugh. Gertrude says, "Oh, Ethel!" Gertrude goes toward Marion, Ethel and Kitty at same time. Marion exits.
Fanshaw. [To Trimmins.] Who are you dancing the cotillon with, Trimmins?
Trimmins. Ethel Stevens!
Fanshaw. Who?
Trimmins. Ethel Stevens!
Fanshaw. I'll bet a fiver you're not. She's dancing with me.
Trimmins. [Very pleased.] Delighted! I owe you the five with joy. [Rushes Fanshaw out of the way. Crossing to Gertrude.] Will you give me the pleasure? [Douglas out at back, exits.] Thank you. [Offers his arm, which Gertrude takes, and they go out at back.
