Yes, my lady. Mr. Fouldes always has a comfortable journey.
Lady Mereston
Was the sea calm when you crossed?
Thompson
Yes, my lady. Mr. Fouldes would look upon it as a great liberty if the sea was not calm.
Lady Mereston
Will you tell Mr. Fouldes that I should like to see him at once?
Thompson
[Looking at his watch.] Excuse me, my lady, but Mr. Fouldes said no one was to disturb him till ten o'clock. It's more than my place is worth to go to him at five minutes to.
Lady Mereston
But what on earth's he doing?
Thompson
I don't know at all, my lady.
Lady Mereston
How long have you been with Mr. Fouldes?
Thompson
Twenty-five years, my lady.
Lady Mereston
I should have thought you knew how he spent every minute of his day.
[Paradine comes in. He is a very well-dressedman of forty-odd. Self-possessed, worldly, urbane. He is never at a loss or put outof countenance. He overhears Lady Mereston's last words.
Fouldes
When I engaged Thompson I told him the first thing he must learn was the very difficult feat of keeping his eyes open and shut at one and the same time.
Lady Mereston
My dear Paradine, I've been waiting to see you for the last two hours. How tiresome you are.
Fouldes
You may give me a kiss, Maud, but don't be rough.
Lady Mereston
[Kissing his cheek.] You ridiculous creature. You really might have come to see me at once.
Fouldes
My dear, you cannot grudge me a little repose after a long and tedious journey. I had to repair the ravages to my person caused by twenty-seven hours in the train.
Lady Mereston
Don't be so absurd. I'm sure your person is never ravished.
Fouldes
Ravaged, my dear, ravaged. I should look upon it as an affectation at my age if I were not a little upset by the journey from London to Monte Carlo.
Lady Mereston
I'll be bound you ate a very hearty dinner.
Fouldes
Thompson, did I eat any dinner at all?
Thompson
[Stolidly.] Soup, sir.
Fouldes
I remember looking at it.
Thompson
Fish, sir.
Fouldes
I trifled with a fried sole.
Thompson
Bouchées à la Reine, sir.
Fouldes
They have left absolutely no impression upon me.
