Aunt. Mrs. Clarence will be offended if none of us go.
Horace. Well, then, go, by all means. There’s nothing to prevent you.
Aunt. But Minnie can’t go without you.
Horace. Why not?
Minnie. Auntie’s dress hasn’t come from Louise’s, so she can’t go.
Aunt. You promised to take her.
Horace. I’m not going out again to-night.
Minnie. Oh, Horace, how unkind!
Aunt. I call it perfectly mean.
