Agnes.
[Indifferently.] Indeed!
Ebbsmith.
Here’s a report in to-day’s Standard of a meeting addressed by you last night which would certainly not have that effect. Shall I read it to you?
Agnes.
If you wish it.
Ebbsmith.
[Reads.] “The meeting which was held in St. Luke’s parish last night under the auspices of the Polyandrous Club proved to be of an unusually exciting description. The lecturer was Mrs. John Ebbsmith, wife of the well-known barrister of that name.” [Breaking off.] Really, Agnes, I think my name need not have been dragged into the business.
Agnes.
