George.

[With a glance at Marie.] May I not remain?

Gertrude.

No, no. You would criticise and find fault, and embarrass Marie, and me, too. Now be good, George, and go into the garden. [George exits.]

Marie.

[Holding sacque.] Will you put this on?

Gertrude.

No, I will put it around me.

Marie.

As you please. How do you want your hair dressed, high or low?
