COMTESSE. So, madam!
[MAGGIE is prepared for her.]
MAGGIE. I don’t know what you mean.
COMTESSE. Yes, you do. I mean that there IS some one who ‘helps’ our Mr. Shand.
MAGGIE. There’s not.
COMTESSE. And it IS a woman, and it’s you.
MAGGIE. I help in the little things.
COMTESSE. The little things! You are the Pin he picked up and that is to make his fortune. And now what I want to know is whether your John is aware that you help at all.
[JOHN returns, and at once provides the answer.]
JOHN. Maggie, Comtesse, I’ve done it again!
