ERNEST. “Come down. Q.T. Fanny.”
FANNY [nods]. Get off quietly. I’ll see you again—
THE VOICE OF JANE [from the dressing-room]. Are you going to keep me waiting all night?
[They start. Ernest hastily thrusts the telegram into his breast-pocket.]
FANNY. Coming, dear, coming. [To Ernest] Not a word to anyone! [She hurries him out and closes door behind him.] Merely been putting the room a bit tidy. [She is flying round collecting her outdoor garments.] Thought it would please you. So sorry if I’ve kept you waiting. [Jane has appeared at door.] After you, dear.
Jane goes out again. Fanny, with her pile of luggage, follows.
