Lady M. She'd be flattered if she heard you now.

Fred. I've seen her off the premises.
Lady M. Don't interrupt. Mr. Garside's telling us about a woman with a wonderful face who's been inspiring his speeches.
Fred, (sitting r.c.). Oh, yes? A face that launched a thousand speeches? Bit of a responsibility for any face.
Lady M. And who is she, Mr. Garside?
Peter. I didn't know.
Glad. What a pity. She'll never know what she's been to you.
