Dor. (speaking eagerly) Ah! here's that bit about Lady Huntworth. (Caroline looks round at him in a startled manner) It's in the Agony column. (reads) "Will Lady Huntworth communicate with Messrs. Brampton and Stokes, Capel Court, on a matter of considerable importance?"
Pil. Why should we resume the discussion of that disgraceful woman? (Caroline turns and looks at him)
Miss P. Why, indeed? (Caroline looks at her)
Dor. (to Lucy) When we were talking just now, couldn't remember where I'd read that. Hate to forget a thing.
Miss P. Cook! (Caroline stands thinking quietly) Cook!
Car. I—beg your pardon!
Miss P. We needn't keep you, if you quite understand about the supper.
Car. Oh, quite, thanks! (exit into kitchen; Dorvaston rises, looks after her U. B.)
Miss P. Don't you think that woman has a very singular manner?
