Send an excuse! Throw up a meeting called to discuss an important Public question because you have asked a few barristers and their wives to dine! You must be mad.

Well, I must put them off, I suppose. What night next week will suit you to meet them? Thursday?
Agnes.
On Thursday I am addressing a meeting of the Society for the Encouragement of Divorce.
Ebbsmith.
Friday?
Agnes.
[Coldly.] Friday, as you know, is the weekly meeting of the Agamists’ League.
