Twiller. Well, that’s it, exactly! [Mrs. Pampinelli smiles approvingly, and moves towards the right.]
Mrs. Pampinelli. [Calling Hossefrosse, who is engaged in studying his lines from a paper, over at the right] Mr. Hossefrosse.
Mrs. Fell. [Turning to him] Huxley! [He looks up, and tiptoes towards Mrs. Pampinelli.]
Mrs. Pampinelli. How is this hall to speak in?
Hossefrosse. Why, I shouldn’t say it was good.
Mrs. Pampinelli. I thought not.
Hossefrosse. It’s too big for the speaking voice.
Mrs. Pampinelli. [With a gesture] You have to project the tone, do you not?
Hossefrosse. Oh, yes, absolutely.
Mrs. Pampinelli. [Taking a step towards the back flat, and listening] I’m afraid they’re not hearing Paula at all.
