MILDRED. No, I have a cold. I told you I wasn’t going at luncheon. Don’t you remember, Josephine? Won’t you stay and talk to me, Mr. Melvin?
MR. MELVIN. I should be delighted to, if you are sure it won’t make your cold worse.
MRS. TILSBURY. Why, I didn’t know you had a cold, Mildred. You said at luncheon that you had a headache.
MILDRED. Well, that was brought about by the cold.
MRS. TILSBURY. You look so well. I thought it had passed off.
(Re-enter MRS. BROWN in fur coat with COCHON under her arm.)
MRS. BROWN. Doesn’t Cochon match my coat nicely?
MRS. TILSBURY. Mildred is not going with us. She says she has a cold.
MRS. BROWN. Oh, come along, Mildred. The fresh air will do your cold good.
