Mrs. Dot: A Farce

by W. Somerset Maugham

Mrs. Dot.

Never mind, leave everything to me. And make haste to get up to London.

Aunt Eliza.

Very well, I’ll go at once.

[Just as Aunt Eliza is going into the house Lady Sellenger comes out, followed by Nellie; Aunt Eliza stops and listens to the conversation from the doorway.

Mrs. Dot.

I hope you’ve found everything you wanted.

Lady Sellenger.

Oh, yes, thanks. I’m quite delighted with the view from my room.

Mrs. Dot.
