Harry. Then I'll tell you——
Matt. [Retreating towards door.] No—no—I don't want to know——
Harry. [Following him up, shouting a little.] You said, "I know what she's like in her high gales! I remember what the little devil was like at home."
Dolly. [Pursuing him up to door.] Father! You didn't say that!
Matt. No—no, my darling—quite a mistake—quite a mistake—altogether a mistake.
[Gets thankfully off at back.
Dolly. [Calls after him.] Then why don't you stay and tell him so!
Harry. [Shouts after Matt.] It's not a mistake!
Dolly. [Calls after Matt.] It's cowardly of you to leave me here to be insulted.
Harry. [Goes up to door, shouts.] It's not a mistake! You patted me on the back and said, "Poor chap! Poor chap!" You know you did! [Closes the door, comes fiercely down to Dolly.] It's not a mistake! He could see you had insulted Miss Smithson.
