TENNANT, after making a step towards the garden, turns to the door, only to meet MAGGIE MASSEY and LILY. MAGGIE is of medium height, well-proportioned, good-looking without being pretty.
MAGGIE. [shaking hands with TENNANT.] How do you do?
LILY. What do you think, Maggie? Mr. Tennant is going to leave us. Guess what for!
MAGGIE. He’s going to be married?
CHAR. Good Lord! There’s another.
MAGGIE. Hullo, Charles, you there!
LILY. He’s going to leave England.
MAGGIE. How nice for him!
LILY. [emphatically.] Nice! But he’s got nothing to do there!
