Madame Claude.
[Apologetically.] Oh, but Lady Frederick, that was only in the way of business. I don't exactly remember what expressions I may have made use of——
Lady Frederick.
[Interrupting, as if the truth had suddenly flashed across her.] Ada! I do believe you came here to-day about my account.
Madame Claude.
Oh, no, my lady, I promise you.
Lady Frederick.
You did; I know you did. I see it in your face. Now that really wasn't nice of you. I thought you came as a friend.
Madame Claude.
I did, Lady Frederick.
