(Katherine opens the door.)
Katherine Miss Reynolds and Mr. Hamilton.
Maude Hello, Valeria, how you vas? Jack, did you get 'em?
Jack (bows to ladies, shakes hands with Mr. De Smythe). Couldn't Maude, nothing but red.
Maude Red! I can't wear red! Madam Sateene, can I?
Madam (after due deliberation). Yes, you can. You will need a touch of color.
Valeria Why don't you carry pink ones?
Jack Pink roses are lovely. You carried pink ones at the Junior Banquet, didn't you, Val?
Valeria (thoughtfully). Did I? Yes, I did! Bridesmaid, I think they were.
