They walk through the third figure. A pause.
Edwin. Read any novels lately?
Angelina. Just read an awfully nice book, “The Law and the Lady.” One of the heroes is a monstrosity without legs, Miserrimus Dexter, don’t you know. Awfully clever.
Edwin. O yes. Read the book myself. Clever notion, the idiotic man-woman, eh, wasn’t it?
Angelina. O yes, awfully good. I think they are waiting for us.
They walk through the fourth figure. Promenade.
Edwin. Did you go to Stafford House to see the coffins?
Angelina. O yes, we all went—Mamma, Papa, and the children, don’t you know. Met everybody there. Such an awful crush.
Edwin. Like the coffins?
Angelina. O so much. They looked awfully nice. So deliciously cool, don’t you know.
