Alice. Indeed. (Laughs) Well, I must admit you certainly played the game high. I suppose I simply must give in. But, oh dear, how I shall be laughed at.
Diana. All you have got to do is to laugh also. You know the old saying, "Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone."
Alice. But, Mrs. Baxter, what will she say when she finds this out?
Diana (laughs). Oh, some day I shall act for you the part Mrs. Baxter played in this tragedy. My, but her dignity was taken down a bit.
Alice. I can imagine.
Diana. The only thing I regret is the impression we gave you of stenographers. I must admit we did exaggerate a little. But, you see, if we acted as real stenographers, you would be so pleased and contented with your lot that you would never consent to give it up.
Alice (sighs). But, oh, I can just picture father and Jack referring to this, in a burst of laughter, as "Alice's Blighted Profession."
(Both look at one another; laugh)
