[To Anne.] Why don't you come for a little drive with us? It's such a beautiful evening.

Anne.

Will you take me? I think I'd like it. It won't take me a minute to put on my hat.

[She gets up. They start to walk towards the house.]

Christina.

[Putting up her cheek.] Good-bye, Arthur.

Arthur.

Oh, I'll just come along and put you in your carriage. You shan't say that I don't treat you with the ceremony due to your importance.

[They saunter off. Violet and Ronny are left alone.]
