Dol. Did you speak, madam?

Enter Ralph, L. 4 E. He pauses at C.
Dol. Why, yes! and doubly so since the arrival of such charming simplicity.
Ralph. Ha! ha! ha! [Comes down C. Anastasia and Dollerclutch are startled. Anastasia Exits R. 2 E., with great dignity.]
Dol. [L.] Were you laughing at me, sir?
Ralph. Yes! at the picture of charming simplicity. Ha! ha! ha!
Dol. Hem! perhaps your name is Paul Pry?
Ralph. Perhaps it is! [With a shrug.] If you have any grievance, there’s my card. [Hands him card, and is about to go.]
