Lady Mogton. (To Ginger.) Jump into a cab. See if you can find her. Perhaps she has been detained at one of the committee-rooms. Tell her she ought to be here.

Ginger. Yes, your ladyship. (She crosses, opens door.)

Jawbones. Shut the door.

Ginger. Oh, shut—

(She finds herself face to face with a Messenger carrying a ballot-box.)

I beg yer pardon! (She goes out, closes door.)

Lady Mogton. (To the Messenger.) Is that the last?

Messenger. Generally is. Isle of Dogs!

(He goes into the other room.)

Lady Mogton. (To Jawbones.) Do you know where Mr. Chilvers is?
