Sir H. Observed what, Mrs. Dozey?
Mrs. D. Why, Mrs. Blake’s attentions to the Doctor!
Doctor winks solemnly at Sir Humphrey, who smiles.
Sir H. I’d not noticed them.
Mrs. D. Ah! she’s so sly about it. Ah, well, well! I suppose a ballet-dancer knows no better.
Ned. Mrs. Blake doesn’t dance! (crosses, sits at desk)
Dr. There is a difference between an actress and a coryphée.
Mrs. D. (sharply) What do you know of coryphées?
Dr. (starts) I saw one once, my dear.
