Daniel (feelingly). Whew! What a woman! (Falls on Chesterfield.)
(Evangeline peeps downstairs.)
Evangeline. Has she gone?
Daniel. Yes, thank Heaven. I say, Vangy, she is a very objectionable woman.
Evangeline (coming down). I know—we all loathe her. Now at last I can talk to you alone. (Sits beside him.)
Daniel. Look here, Evangeline, I know exactly what you are going to say, and I settle it all on Griggs, if you like. He'll take it, he's a Scotsman.
Evangeline. How did you know?
Daniel. Instinct, my dear, pure instinct.
Evangeline (rises). Let's talk it all over.
Daniel (rises and goes L.). No, not now, I must go up to my room.
