CHARLEY. Should have thought it would have waited for you.
LESLIE. I left the house at the usual time and there was a confounded woman at the station with about five trunks and a paper parcel, who took up the whole doorway.
Much laughing from SYBIL and an encouraging smile from LILY.
By the time I got over the train was gone. Never did such a thing in my life before.
LILY. You haven’t sung to us, Charley, dear.
MAGGIE. He’s tired.
LILY. Not too tired for that, are you?
SYBIL. Oh, do, Mr. Wilson, I know you sing splendidly. Per— Mr. Massey told me so.
PERCY. S’sh! don’t give me away—he’s my brother-in-law.
CHARLEY. Not to-night, Lil—I—I’m a little hoarse.
