You're very much too modest, Charlie. I'm enormously flattered and grateful. You must give me time to think it over.
Lady Mereston
Time?
Mereston
But I can't wait. Don't you see how I love you? You'll never meet any one who'll care for you as I do.
Lady Frederick
I think you can wait a little. Come and see me to-morrow morning at ten, and I'll give you an answer.
Mereston
Very well, if I must.
Lady Frederick
[Smiling.] I'm afraid so.
Fouldes
[To Lady Frederick.] I wonder what the deuce your little game is now.
[She smiles triumphantly and gives him a deep, ironical curtsey.
Lady Frederick
Sir, your much obliged and very obedient, humble servant.
END OF THE SECOND ACT
THIRD ACT
Scene: Lady Frederick's dressing-room. At the back is a large opening, curtained, which leads to the bedroom; on the right a door leading to the passage; on the left a window. In front of the window, of which the blind is drawn, is a dressing-table. Lady Frederick's maid is in the room, a very neat pretty Frenchwoman. She speaks with a slight accent. She rings the bell, and the Footman enters.
Maid
As soon as Lord Mereston arrives he is to be shown in.
Footman
[Surprised.] Here?
Maid
Where else?
[The Footman winks significantly. The Maid draws herself up with dignity, and with a dramatic gesture points to the door.
Maid
Depart.
[The Footman goes out.
Lady Frederick
[From the bedroom.] Have you drawn the blind, Angélique?
Maid
I will do so, miladi. [She draws the blind, and the light falls brightly on the dressing-table.] But miladi will never be able to stand it. [She looks at herself in the glass.] Oh, the light of the sun in the morning! I cannot look at myself.
Lady Frederick
[As before.] There's no reason that you should – especially in my glass.
Maid
But if 'is lordship is coming, miladi must let me draw the blind. Oh, it is impossible.
Lady Frederick
Do as you're told and don't interfere.
[The Footman enters to announce Mereston. The Maid goes out.
Footman
Lord Mereston.
Lady Frederick
[As before.] Is that you, Charlie? You're very punctual.
Mereston
I've been walking about outside till the clock struck.
Lady Frederick
I'm not nearly dressed, you know. I've only just had my bath.
Mereston
Must I go?
