ann. Yes.

george. My lord!

lord john. Here.

george. I can't see you. I'm sent to say we're all anxious to know what ghost or other bird of night or beast has frightened Ann to screaming point, and won you . . . the best in Tatton's stables—so he says now. He's quite annoyed.

lord john. The mare is a very good mare.

ann. He betted it because he wanted to bet it; I didn't want him to bet it.

george. What frightened her?

ann. I had rather, my lord, that you did not tell my brother why I screamed.

lord john. I kissed her.

george. Did you?
