MRS. CLOUSTON

When did you send for her?

MRS. DE MULLIN

MRS. CLOUSTON

Why didn’t she come then, if she was coming at all?

MRS. DE MULLIN

She was away from home. That was so unfortunate. If she had come when Hugo was ill in bed it might have been all right. But now that he’s almost well again....

MRS. CLOUSTON

When did you hear she was coming?
