Lady Kitty. [Shaking hands with Anna and Teddie.] Oh, no, I shall enjoy it. I used to give enormous parties here. Political, you know. How nice you’ve made this room!
Elizabeth. Oh, that’s Arnold.
Arnold. [Nervously.] D’you like this chair? I’ve just bought it. It’s exactly my period.
Porteous. [Bluntly.] It’s a fake.
Arnold. [Indignantly.] I don’t think it is for a minute.
Porteous. The legs are not right.
Arnold. I don’t know how you can say that. If there is anything right about it, it’s the legs.
Lady Kitty. I’m sure they’re right.
Porteous. You know nothing whatever about it, Kitty.
Lady Kitty. That’s what you think. I think it’s a beautiful chair. Hepplewhite?
