Lady C. Yes. (crosses to Rose and Philip)
Rose. (embracing her) Aren’t you surprised, Aunt Bell?
Lady C. I was, when first I heard. I hope you will be very happy. You, too, Philip.
(gives him her hand, then crosses to Sir George)
Rose. Why don’t you kiss her, Philip?
Philip. I’ll kiss you instead.
(they sit aside, L., without noticing the others)
Lady C. (laying her hand upon Sir George’s arm) What are you thinking of?
Sir G. I was just wondering if that poor woman’s love, which had so gone astray, will ever go back to her husband.
