(Horace kisses her with a touch of finality.)

Minnie. Now I’ll see how Auntie is getting on. (Goes to door L.)

Horace. Minnie.

Minnie. (Returning, expecting a caress) Yes?

Horace. I was going to say——

Minnie. Yes, darling?

Horace. (Changing his mind) You won’t forget about the oil?

(Enter Aunt in new dress, followed by Bella with wraps, which are put on sofa up stage. Exit Bella R.)

Aunt. Here I am, dear. Quite ready. Haven’t I been quick?
