Dolly. Delighted! You'll make up our rubber.

Lucas. Right!

Matt. Not going to ride back to Aldershot again to-night?

Lucas. Not to-night, thank you.

Matt. Just a shade too bracing, eh?

Lucas. Just a shade! Dolly, I haven't seen your new fish-pond. Is anybody going to meet the Professor?

[Glancing at Renie.

Matt. I am. [Linking his arm in Lucas's.] We'll get into an unvarying routine of exercise for the next hour. Come along!

[Takes Lucas off as he is exchanging a look with Renie. Renie makes to follow them, stops at door, turns back a little, stops, takes out Lucas's letter from her French novel, goes to fire and reads it. Meanwhile the following scene takes place between Dolly and Harry.

Harry. [To Dolly.] Now, Dolly, we can go through your bills.
