Miss L. Well, you can't say to me as you did to Mrs. Freddy: "You're too young and too happily married—and too——"
(Glances round smiling at Mrs. Freddy, who, oblivious, is laughing and talking to her husband and Mrs. Heriot.)
Jean. For what was Mrs. Freddy too happily married and all the rest?
Miss L. (lightly). Mr. Greatorex was repudiating the horrid rumour that Mrs. Freddy had been speaking in public; about Women's Trade Unions—wasn't that what you said, Mrs. Heriot?
