[With a smile.] I’ve got something dreadfully important to ask you.

Grace.

[Forcing a smile.] What is it?

Edith Lewis.

Well, I want to know if you’re going to wear the grey satin you wore on Saturday. You see, I only brought three dinner dresses down with me, and one of them’s a grey, only it’s much more slaty than yours, and it’ll look so cold beside it. So I shan’t put it on if you’re going to wear yours.

Grace.

[Dully.] No, I won’t wear my grey satin.

Edith Lewis.

What are you going to wear?

Grace.
