Mrs. Mountcalm-Villiers. For us?

Lady Mogton. For us.

(Janet by this time has announced the figures. There is heard a great burst of cheering, renewed again and again.)

Janet. (Re-entering.) They want you! They want you!

(Mingled with the cheering come cries ofSpeech! Speech!”)

Lady Mogton. You must say something.

(The band strikes upThe Conquering Hero.” The women crowd round Annys, congratulating her. Geoffrey stands apart.)

Phoebe. (Screaming above the din.) Put on your cloak.

Janet. (Rushes and gets it.)

(They wrap it round her.)
