Kitty. Oh, that's all off now. It's Ned Fletcher or nothing with Marion.

Ethel. [Laughing.] I believe she thinks she's going to reform him! [All laugh.

Kitty. There's one thing, he isn't after Marion's money.

Ethel. Is he so rich?

Johnstone. Oh, rotten! [Kitty slaps Johnstone.

Mrs. Lorrimer. Very well, do you know what I shall do? I shall take Douglas.

Ethel. [Hastily.] Yes, catch his heart on the rebound; they say it's easier that way!

Johnstone. That's one on you, Mrs. Lorrimer. [Party gag.]

Mrs. Lorrimer. Oh, I'm not so very old, and have had two splendid husbands already. I don't think I have to bother about the easiest way.

Johnstone. Philopene, Ethel? That's one on you.
