Lamb. (To St. Herbert.) No use talking to her, I suppose?

St. Herbert. (Shrugs his shoulders.) She’ll do what she imagines to be her duty. Women are so uncivilised.

(A burst of cheering is heard. A shrill male voice: “Three cheers for Winston Churchill!” It is followed by an explosion of yells.)

St. Herbert. Who’s that?

Lamb. (He has opened the window.) Phoebe Mogton!

Sigsby. What a family!

(Janet has entered.)

Janet. Is that Mrs. Chilvers? (To Lamb and St. Herbert.) Good evening.

St. Herbert. Good evening.

Lamb. No; it’s her sister.
