CINDERELLA (as white as the Venus). Was the Prince of Wales with him?
BODIE. Once.
CINDERELLA. What’s he like?
BODIE. Splendid! Quite young, you know. He’s not married.
CINDERELLA (with awful intensity). No, not yet.
BODIE. I suppose he is very difficult to satisfy.
CINDERELLA (knitting her lips). He has never seen the feet that pleased him.
BODIE. Cinderella, your pulse is galloping. You frighten me. What possesses you?
CINDERELLA (after hesitating). There is something I want to tell you. Maybe I’ll not be coming back after to-night. She has paid me up to to-night.
BODIE. Is she sending you away?
