(Exit Aurora.)
Ruby. (to Flo) Are you going, Miss Garden, or are you not?
Pearl. It'll make your headache much worse if you stay here.
Flora. I shall ask the doctor to give me something to send it away, (makes herself comfortable on sofa, back to Pearl)
Pearl. (to Ruby) Isn't she a spiteful little cat!
Ruby. (to Pearl) Never mind, she shan't interfere with our fun; we can't leave those two sitting in that four-wheeler all day. (rises, comes to Pearl)
Pearl. No, come along, We'll go and tell "auntie" to come in.
(Exeunt Ruby and Pearl.)
Flora. (aside) I'll make Jack explain about those girls, or I'll break off our—our honeymoon; they talk as if he was engaged to both of them. Now I know why he was so desperately anxious to hide me when their father called.
(Enter Doctor. in pyjamas and eccentric Turkish dressing gown, rubbing his head with a towel—Flo doesn't see him.)
