Cecil. Now, I wonder who taught you that?
Haru. O most worshipful, the great barbarian Englishman.
Cecil. There, G., that’s your beloved Arthur. Do you mean the very tall Englishman, my brother?
Totmai. The Princess has spoken of you, O most excellent. You are the lady who came with the most worshipful foreigner to the Palace. O Yuki will run instantly and tell O Mimosa San that you are here with the most venerated Ancient One.
Miss P. (turning away). They are very ignorant, poor little things!
Cecil (to Totmai). Would you tell me your name?
Totmai (bowing). Totmai.
Cecil. What do you find to do all day?
Totmai. We dance, laugh, sing and care for honorable flowers, we read and work.
Cecil. Quite like English girls! What do you read?
