Alma. At last.
Mrs. D. Oh, how I shall enjoy a sermon after this!
Re-enter Susan, L.C.
Susan. Mr. Dick, Mr. Chetwynd.
Dick. Come along, Chetwynd. (down R.C. of Alma. Ned crosses to Sir Humphrey. Susan exits, L.C.) Morning everybody. Important business. (puts hat on sofa)
Sir H. Business? Then I’m afraid we’re in the way. (Ned crosses L.)
Alma. Not in the least. Don’t move. If anybody’s in the way it’s Mr. Dick. To what am I indebted for this intrusion?
Dick. Just been upstairs looking for Miss Carlton, and I’m told you’ve been getting at her. What are you up to now? What business have you with my leading lady?
Alma. Miss Carlton’s indisposed, and can’t attend rehearsal.
Dick. Teaching her some of your own tricks already. Where’s the doctor’s certificate?
