(Stonor pauses to shake hands. Exeunt all three.)
Jean (perplexed, as Stonor turns away, says to Greatorex). Well, if women are of no importance in politics, it isn't for the reason you gave. There is now and then a week-ender among them.
Great. (shuffles about uneasily). Hm—Hm. (Finds himself near Mrs. Freddy.) Lord! The perils that beset the feet of man!
(With an air of comic caution, moves away, L.)
Jean (to Farnborough, aside, laughing). Why does he behave like that?
Farn. His moral sense is shocked.
Jean. Why, I saw him and Mrs. Freddy together at the French Play the other night—as thick as thieves.
Miss L. Ah, that was before he knew her revolting views.
Jean. What revolting views?
Great. Sh! Sunday.
