"It's excellent...."
"Is it comic?"
"Well, I suppose it is. He calls it a comedy," Henry said.
"So long as there's a laugh in it, I don't mind going to see it. I can't stand these weepy bits. 'Hamlet' and that sort of stuff. Enough to give a chap the pip! Oh, here's Cecily!"
Henry turned to look up the stairs down which Lady Cecily was coming, and then he went forward to greet her.
"How nice of you," she said. "Has Gilbert come, too?"
"No," he answered, chilled by her question. "He has a rehearsal this morning!"
"Oh, yes, of course," she said. "His play! I forgot. We're going to see it on Wednesday. I hope it's good!"
"It's very good," Henry replied.
