Lord William: How de do, Tim?
Selina: How’s Ann?
Tim: She’s looking tired.
Selina: Is Ninian here?
Tim: He doesn’t arrive till seven-thirty.
Lord William: The others are coming by the three o’clock train—Molly, Mr. Jordan and Mrs. Martineau.
Tim: Yes.
Selina: I never can think why Ann should see so much of Mabel Martineau.
Tim: They played together in the nursery.
Selina: That’s the only explanation that’s ever brought forward for Mabel.
