Mrs. Dot: A Farce

by W. Somerset Maugham

I should like to SCREAM.

Gerald.

Would you, by George? So would I.

Nellie.

Oh, Gerald, let’s have a good scream together.

Enter Lady Sellenger and Mrs. Dot.

Lady Sellenger.

[With a bland smile.] What a picture they make!

Mrs. Dot.

[Acidly.] It’s quite charming to see two young things so engrossed in one another’s society.
