Jean. I don't want to get out.
Stonor. What! Where are you going?
Jean. To ask that woman to let me have the honour of working with her.
(She disappears in the crowd.)
Curtain.
ACT III
Scene: The drawing-room at old Mr. Dunbarton's house in Eaton Square. Six o'clock the same evening. As the Curtain rises the door (L.) opens and Jean appears on the threshold. She looks back into her own sitting-room, then crosses the drawing-room, treading softly on the parquet spaces between the rugs. She goes to the window and is in the act of parting the lace curtains when the folding doors (C.) are opened by the Butler.
Jean (to the Servant). Sh!
(She goes softly back to the door she has left open and closes it carefully. When she turns, the Butler has stepped aside to admit Geoffrey Stonor, and departed, shutting the folding doors. Stonor comes rapidly forward.)
