Mistress. Now then, Mary, you really must make haste or I shall not be in time. Have you got my latest bonnet from Paris?
Maid. Yes, Madam. I told John to put the foot-warmer and the carriage rug in the brougham.
Mistress. Quite right; and now have you got my fan?
Maid. Yes, Madam, and I suppose you will want your opera-glasses?
Mistress. Naturally; how could I see anything distinctly without them? There is sure to be such a crowd. And, by the way, have you got me a packet of literature?
