Colonel Wharton.

I felt rather shy about it. After all, we’ve had rather an anxious time over that young scamp there. If anything had happened to him—well, I should have had Evelyn, but she, poor soul, has nobody.

Sylvia.

Mrs. Wharton.

Vicar.

I wonder if she’d like to come and stay at the Vicarage. I can’t bear to think of her all alone.

Mrs. Poole.
