Marion. Going to dance?—

Girls. Yes.

Mrs. Lorrimer. No, play games. Kissing games. [All laugh and exeunt.

Marion. Oh, Mrs. Lorrimer! [Enter Fletcher.

Fletcher. Why did you run away?

Marion. I was afraid if I didn't the servants would never get this room ready.

Fletcher. Have you a partner?

Marion. No.

Fletcher. [Pleased to be with her and yet embarrassed.] May I—will you—that is—won't you dance with me?

Marion. Yes.
