Enter Waiter.
Waiter. Ladies, I’m sorry—Miss Bursal and Mr. Bursal are come—just coming upstairs.
Mrs. Talb. Then, will you be so good, sir, as to unlock this door?
(Waiter tries to unlock the door.)
Waiter. It must be bolted on the inside. Chambermaid! Sally! Are you within there? Unbolt this door.
Mr. Bursal’s voice behind the scenes. Let me have a basin of good soup directly.
Waiter. I’ll go round and have the door unbolted immediately, ladies.
(Exit Waiter.)
Enter Miss Bursal, in a riding dress, and with a long whip.
