HETTY. Above all else you must let her know that we are rich.
HARRIET. Oh, yes, I do that quite easily now.
HETTY. You must put it on a bit.
HARRIET. Never fear.
HETTY. Tell her I love my husband.
HARRIET. My husband——
HETTY. Are you going to quarrel with me?
HARRIET [moves away]. No, I have no desire to quarrel with you. It is quite too uncomfortable. I couldn't get away from you if I tried.
HETTY [stamping her foot and following HARRIET]. You were a stupid fool to make me refuse John, I'll never forgive you—never——
HARRIET [stopping and holding up her hand]. Don't get me all excited. I'll be in no condition to meet her properly this afternoon.
