Maid. I will tell Miss Wolton. [Exit. Fanshaw, Ethel and Mrs. Lorrimer greet each other.

Fanshaw. How do you do? [Shakes hands. Mrs. Lorrimer motions with her head a dismissal to the Servant, and he gets boxes and goes out.

Ethel. [Goes to sofa and sits.] Do you think Marion will see us?

Mrs. Lorrimer. I don't know, I'm sure. She is with her mother.

Ethel. You don't mean—

Mrs. Lorrimer. Yes, but she isn't a bit like she was yesterday. She's crying like a child, poor thing,—what she's gone through!

Fanshaw. Have you seen the papers? [Has large bundle of them.

Mrs. Lorrimer. No.

Fanshaw. It's in all of them, and some have big pictures.

Ethel. Yes, my dear, with all of us in. Marion in a low-necked dress. You're a sight, but my picture's rather good.
