Lady Sellenger.

Where are you going in such a hurry?

Nellie.

[Promptly.] We were just going to call you all in to tea.

[Mrs. Dot comes in.

Mrs. Dot.

I’ve just had the motor brought round in case any one would like to go out.

[She goes to the writing-table to see if the licence has been removed. They all sit down and have tea.

Lady Sellenger.

Nellie, my love, I’ve been discussing a very important matter with Gerald.
