Lawton: "You're tired of giving yourself away, then?"
Campbell: "It's of no use. They won't have me."
Lawton: "Who won't?"
Campbell: "Oh, I'll leave Mrs. Somers to say."
XII
MRS. SOMERS and the OTHERS
Mrs. Somers, radiantly reappearing: "Say what?" She has hidden the traces of her tears from every one but the ladies by a light application of powder, and she knows that they all know she has been crying, and this makes her a little more smiling. "Say what?" She addresses the company in general rather than Campbell.
Campbell, with caricatured tenderness: "Say yes."
Mrs. Somers: "What does he mean, Doctor?"
Lawton: "Oh, I'm afraid he's past all surgery. I give him over to you, Mrs. Somers."
