MRS. CLOUSTON
Why?
MRS. DE MULLIN
You see I didn’t know whether she was coming. And if she didn’t come, of course there was no necessity for telling Hugo anything about it. I’m afraid he’ll be very angry.
MRS. CLOUSTON
At any rate, you must tell him now. The sooner the better.
MRS. DE MULLIN
(meekly)
Very well, Harriet. If you think so.
