PERCY. Now you sing something.

SYBIL. [with a giggle.] I couldn’t really—you know I couldn’t.

PERCY. Oh, yes, you can—that nice little coon thing you sang at the Richards.

SYBIL. I’ve got a cold.

MAGGIE. [crossing from piano.] Of course you have.

SYBIL. [laughing.] But it’s quite true. Really. And I couldn’t really sing after Mrs. Wilson.

LILY. Sybil! Do sing, please.

LESLIE. We’re all waiting, Miss Frost.

SYBIL. Oh, please—I can’t. Let someone else sing first.
