THE FIRST ACT
BARLOW.
Is Mrs. O'Farrell not here?
PEYTON.
No, sir.
BARLOW.
H'm.... Will you let her know I've come?
PEYTON.
Mrs. O'Farrell is not at home, sir.
BARLOW.
Not at home?... But....
PEYTON.
BARLOW.
PEYTON.
And Mrs. O'Farrell said, will you have a whisky and soda, sir?
BARLOW.
But when is Mrs. O'Farrell coming in?
PEYTON.
I don't know at all, sir.
BARLOW.
But she telegraphed to me this afternoon, asking me to come and see her at once.
PEYTON.
Yes, sir; I took the telegram to the post office myself.
BARLOW.
It seems very extraordinary that she should have gone out. The matter was of considerable importance.
PEYTON.
Yes, sir.
BARLOW.
Very well, I'll sit down and wait. But I can't stay long. I'm dining at ... no matter.
PEYTON.
Very good, sir.
The Duchess of St. Erth returned to Wales yesterday. The Marchioness of Mereston has arrived at 89 Grosvenor Square. The Marchioness of Serlo and Lady Eleanor King leave for Paris this morning.
She's out!
MRS. GOLIGHTLY.
Out?
And Mrs. O'Farrell said, will you have a strong cup of tea, ma'am?
MRS. GOLIGHTLY.
I'm surprised that Mrs. O'Farrell should have gone out, because she expected me.
PEYTON.
Yes, ma'am.
MRS. GOLIGHTLY.
What is this?
PEYTON.
MRS. GOLIGHTLY.
Oh, thank you.... I think I will have a cup of tea, please.
PEYTON.
