Mrs. Van Dyke

I can’t say it’s my idea of ancient jewelry.

Mrs. Morrow

No. But if we dressed up at Mrs. Bilton’s ball like some of these animals, we’d certainly make a hit.

Mrs. Van Dyke

It might suit you, dear; but I think I’ll wear at least some jewelry. I’m sure there must be wonderful old pieces in the museum I can get Tiffany to copy in time. I must find something original.

Mrs. Morrow

(Looking absently at Hood through her lorgnette)

Dear me, this is a terrible place—full of monsters.
