Mrs. Wolton. This is the quietest place. Show Mr. Dawson in here. Where is Mr. Wolton?
Servant. [Trying not to smile.] He's blind-folded, m'm!
Mrs. Wolton. [Smiling.] Tell him.
Servant. Yes, m'm. [Exits.
Douglas. Shall we join the game?
Mrs. Wolton. Yes, come, I will take Mr. Wolton's place! I haven't played Blind Man's Buff for— [She calculates a moment, and then speaks amusedly.] Good gracious!—never mind how many years!!
Douglas. Oh, not so many as all that, I am sure! [They go out at back.
Enter Servant with Dawson in cutaway coat and vest and usual trousers. Servant at once begins to pick up the debris made by Douglas.
Dawson. What's going on here, Howes?
Servant. A children's party, sir.
