Oh no. I can dress in ten minutes. I’ll give you a quarter of an hour’s start and be down in the drawing-room five minutes before you’re ready. Is it a bet?
BERTHA
Done. In sixpences. (To Janet) I’m staying at the Park for a few days longer, Janet. Come up and see me, won’t you?
JANET
(uncomfortably)
I’m afraid I can’t promise. On account of father.
BERTHA
Well, after I’ve gone home then. Mother will want to see you. And so will Helen. And now I suppose I really must go. Come along, Monty.
