Daisy. Are the ladies of Peking giving her the cold shoulder?
Knox. The cold shoulder hardly describes it. The frozen silverside.
George. I think she's well rid of Reggie Stopfort at any price, but I'm sorry the other party is André Leroux.
Sylvia. Why? She introduced me to him. I thought he was a very nice fellow.
George. Well, you see, if he'd been English or American, he would have married her as a matter of course.
Sylvia. So I should hope.
Daisy. Because she was divorced on his account, you mean?
George. Yes. But the French haven't our feeling on that matter. I'm not quite sure if André will be willing to marry her.
Sylvia. Oh, that would be dreadful! Under those circumstances the man must marry the woman. He simply must.
George. Of course.
