It's so late, we were afraid you wouldn't come. I should have been dreadfully disappointed.
Alec.
It's very kind of you to say so. I've been at the Travellers', reading various appreciations of my own character.
Lady Kelsey.
[Somewhat embarrassed.] Oh, I heard there was something about you in the papers.
Alec.
There's a good deal. I really had no idea the world was so interested in me.
Lady Kelsey.
It's charming of you to come to-night. I'm sure you hate dances!
Alec.
