HUBERT: I wonder how soon the old girl'll get his number?… Oh, but fair play, we're talking about the chap as if he were the most terrible——

MRS. TERENCE: Why, what's 'e done?

HUBERT: Exactly.

OLIVIA: I don't know, but I feel so strongly … Is Dora there?… (Calling cautiously) Dora!

MRS. TERENCE: Oh, she won't know anything. She's as 'alf-witted as she's lazy, and that's sayin' a lot. She'd cut 'er nose off to stop the dust-bin smelling sooner than empty it, she would.

DORA comes in from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron.

DORA: Did somebody say Dora?

OLIVIA: Has Dan said any more about marrying you?

DORA: No. She 'asn't brought it up again, either.

OLIVIA: Does he talk to you at all?
