Miss Rice: "That's the very reason no one could have made it up."
Miss Greenway: "He couldn't have made up even a likely story."
Campbell: "Congratulate you again, Welling. Do you suppose she can keep so always?"
Mrs. Campbell, rushing in with extended hands: "Don't answer the wretch, Mr. Welling. Of course she can with you. Dansons!" She gives a hand to Miss Greenway and Welling each; the others join them, and as they circle round the table she sings,
"Sur le pont d'Avignon,
Tout le monde y danse en rond."
