Miss P. No.
Pil. Hannah, permit me! In answer to your inquiry, I may say we obtained the highest testimonials from the Duchess of Sturton.
Cray. Oh yes, that's all right—they're pals. (all start) Did she tell you your Cook was married.
Miss P. Married?
Pil. Hannah! Hannah! No, sir, she did not.
Cray. Well she is. Did she say she was a well-known society woman, who wasn't living with her husband?
Miss P. Good gracious!
Pil. Her Grace did not mention the fact—if it is a fact.
Cray. It is—you may lay your shirt on it. That ain't quite the sort of party you want in your kitchen, is it? Now I happen to know the husband'd be willin' to overlook the past—and take her back again——
Pil. Er—really?
