Lady Windermere. She came here once as your guest. She must come now as mine. That is but fair.
Lord Windermere. She should never have come here.
Lady Windermere. [Rising.] It is too late, Arthur, to say that now. [Moves away.]
Lord Windermere. [Rising.] Margaret, if you knew where Mrs. Erlynne went last night, after she left this house, you would not sit in the same room with her. It was absolutely shameless, the whole thing.
Lady Windermere. Arthur, I can’t bear it any longer. I must tell you. Last night—
[Enter Parker with a tray on which lie Lady Windermere’s fan and a card.]
Parker. Mrs. Erlynne has called to return your ladyship’s fan which she took away by mistake last night. Mrs. Erlynne has written a message on the card.
Lady Windermere. Oh, ask Mrs. Erlynne to be kind enough to come up. [Reads card.] Say I shall be very glad to see her.
[Exit Parker.]
She wants to see me, Arthur.
