[Kissing her.] Good-bye, darling.
[Mabel and John go out.
Brackley
I like this room, Mrs. Murray. It never seems to say to you: now it's really time for you to go away, as some drawing-rooms do.
Hilda
[Recovering her serenity.] I suppose it's the furniture. I'm thinking of changing it.
Brackley
[With a smile.] Upon my word, that almost suggests that I've outstayed my welcome.
Hilda
[Gaily.] I shouldn't have said that if I didn't know that nothing would induce you to go till you wanted to.
Brackley
[Rising.] You know me like your glove. But it really is growing monstrous late.
Hilda
You mustn't go till you've told me who the fair charmer was I saw you with at the play last night.
Brackley
Ah, the green-eyed monster!
Hilda
[Laughing.] Don't be so absurd, but I thought you'd like to know her yellow hair was dyed.
[Basil looks over the pages of a book, somewhatannoyed that Hilda takes no notice of him.
Brackley
Of course it was dyed. That was just the charm of it. Any woman can have yellow hair naturally: there's no more credit in that than in having it blue or green.
Hilda
I've always wanted to make mine purple.
Brackley
Don't you think women ought to be artificial? It's just as much their duty to rouge their cheeks and powder their noses as it is for them to wear nice frocks.
Hilda
But I know many women who wear horrid frocks.
Brackley
Oh, those are the others. I treat them as non-existent.
Hilda
What do you mean?
Brackley
There are only two sorts of women in the world – the women who powder their noses and the others.
Hilda
And who are they if you please?
Brackley
I haven't examined the matter very carefully, but I understand they are clergymen's daughters by profession.
[He shakes hands with her.
Hilda
It's so nice of you to have come.
Brackley
[Nodding at Basil.] Good-bye… May I come again soon?
Hilda
[Looking at him quickly.] Were you serious just now, or were you laughing at me?
Brackley
I've never been more serious in my life.
Hilda
Then perhaps I shall be in to luncheon on Thursday after all.
Brackley
A thousand thanks. Good-bye.
