Johnson. Yes, sir. There’s a lady to see you, sir. She speaks English now.
Martin. She does, eh? That’s unusual, isn’t it?
Johnson. I mean, sir, when she was here two months ago she could only talk French.
Martin. Indeed! Well, I’m not interested in the languages she speaks. Who is she, and what does she want?
Johnson. She wishes to see you about the French rights of the 13 Soap.
Martin. The what?
Johnson. The French rights.
Martin. Great Scott! Send her right in.
Johnson. Yes, sir. The Countess de Bowreen. (He exits)
Countess. (Enters) How do you do?
