Car. (L. of table arranging plates) Take these plates into the scullery.
Kez. Yus, Cook. Not as it always answers. (Cook crosses to larder with salad dish) I wes 'anding that sauce stuff—I forgot what you call it, Cook——
Car. Mayonnaise. (at larder; crosses back to L. of table and begins to put radishes in bowl into glass dish)
Kez. Yus, Cook, that was it—in a butter boat. Well, I was 'anding it to old Madam as the Captain cut himself off—oh, such a slice of 'am—I dote on 'am, I do, reelly. Well, I had to shet me eyes, and just then Gandy hustled me with 'is elbow, and me wrist turned, as you may say, sudden like, and I upset the myanneasy on to milady's gown. She did talk to me a treat. (takes fish plates to scullery; Gandy enters hastily, stands C.)
Gan. Now then, Keziah, one claret glass short. That's your silly fault. (Keziah crosses to dresser, gets glass and hands it to Gandy R.; then returns to dresser for plates)
Car. Do they seem to fancy the fruit salad?
Gan. Fancy it! Dorvaston and the governor are both in their second 'elpings. It's 'ideous to see 'em—'ideaous!
Kez. (at dresser) I shall be awful late with me washin' up. (crosses to window with plates) I shall miss a good 'alf of it.
Car. (crosses to larder for cheese) I'll wash the glass and silver for you.
Kez. (crosses to top of table and takes chicken plates to scullery, leaving four forks on table) That's wonderful good of you, Cook; it is reelly. D'you know I'm in two minds which 'at to wear.
