Lord J. (with enthusiasm). Exactly.

Mrs. H. It will be a long time before we hear any more of that nonsense.

Jean. You mean that rowdy scene in the House of Commons?

Mrs. H. Yes. No decent woman will be able to say "Suffrage" without blushing for another generation, thank Heaven!

Miss L. (smiling). Oh? I understood that so little I almost imagined people were more stirred up about it than they'd ever been before.

Great. (with a quizzical affectation of gallantry). Not people like you.

Miss L. (teasingly). How do you know?

Great. (with a start). God bless my soul!

Lord J. She's saying that only to get a rise out of you.

Great. Ah, yes, your frocks aren't serious enough.
