Lady Frederick.

So you came to see me at once. That was nice of you. You're the very person I wanted to see.

Madame Claude.

[Significantly.] I'm glad of that, my lady, I must confess.

Lady Frederick.

You dear creature. That's one advantage of Monte Carlo, one meets all one's friends. Do you know Mr. Fouldes? This is Madame Claude, an artist, my dear Paradine, a real artist.

Madame Claude.

[Grimly.] I'm pleased that your ladyship should think so.

Fouldes.

How d'you do.
