mabel chiltern. It is too late now, I suppose?

lord goring. [Smiling.] I am not so sure.

mabel chiltern. Will you ride to-morrow morning?

lord goring. Yes, at ten.

mabel chiltern. Don’t forget.

lord goring. Of course I shan’t. By the way, Lady Chiltern, there is no list of your guests in The Morning Post of to-day. It has apparently been crowded out by the County Council, or the Lambeth Conference, or something equally boring. Could you let me have a list? I have a particular reason for asking you.

lady chiltern. I am sure Mr. Trafford will be able to give you one.

lord goring. Thanks, so much.

mabel chiltern. Tommy is the most useful person in London.

lord goring [Turning to her.] And who is the most ornamental?
