[Kate enters to announce Mr. Wynne.]

Kate.

Mr. Wynne.

[He enters and she goes out and closes the door. Mr. Wynne, the late Miss Wickham’s solicitor, is a tallish man with a bald head. He has the red cheeks and hearty manner of a man who plays in his spare time at being a country gentleman. He is dressed in mourning because he has been to Miss Wickham’s funeral.]

Wickham.

Hulloa!

Wynne.

[Taking Dorothy’s hand rather solemnly.] I didn’t have an opportunity of shaking hands with you at the cemetery.

Dorothy.
