Lady Hunstanton. Are you going, Mrs. Allonby?
Mrs. Allonby. Just as far as the conservatory. Lord Illingworth told me this morning that there was an orchid there as beautiful as the seven deadly sins.
Lady Hunstanton. My dear, I hope there is nothing of the kind. I will certainly speak to the gardener.
[Exit Mrs. Allonby and Lord Illingworth.]
Lady Caroline. Remarkable type, Mrs. Allonby.
Lady Hunstanton. She lets her clever tongue run away with her sometimes.
Lady Caroline. Is that the only thing, Jane, Mrs. Allonby allows to run away with her?
Lady Hunstanton. I hope so, Caroline, I am sure.
[Enter Lord Alfred.]
Dear Lord Alfred, do join us. [Lord Alfred sits down beside Lady Stutfield.]
