Mrs. Dot: A Farce

by W. Somerset Maugham

Gerald.

What are you going to do?

Lady Sellenger.

We must chase them. Where’s your motor, Mr. Blenkinsop? Didn’t you tell me it was the fastest machine in England?

Blenkinsop.

I did say something of the sort.

Lady Sellenger.

We shall catch them up. Gerald, you must drive me. I can’t trust any one else to go fast enough.

Mrs. Dot.

But you don’t know which way they’ve gone.
