Did you go down to the station to meet him on Saturday?

Mrs. Wharton.

The Colonel went. He wouldn’t let me go because he said I’d make a fool of myself on the platform.

Colonel Wharton.

I took Sylvia. I thought that was enough. I knew I could trust her to control herself.

Mrs. Poole.

And when are they going to be married.

Mrs. Wharton.

Oh, I hope very soon. It’s been a long and anxious time for her.

Mrs. Poole.
