SIR CHARLES. H'm! Not--not had a rumpus?
GEORGE. Not particularly. [With the first real sign of feeling] What I can't stand is being made a fool of before other people. Ordinary friction one can put up with. But that---- SIR CHARLES. Gone out on purpose? What! LADY DEDMOND. What was the trouble? GEORGE. I told her this morning you were coming in to Bridge. Appears she'd asked that fellow Malise, for music. LADY DEDMOND. Without letting you know? GEORGE. I believe she did tell me. LADY DEDMOND. But surely---- GEORGE. I don't want to discuss it. There's never anything in particular. We're all anyhow, as you know. LADY DEDMOND. I see. [She looks shrewdly at her son] My dear, I should be rather careful about him, I think. SIR CHARLES. Who's that? LADY DEDMOND. That Mr. Malise. SIR CHARLES. Oh! That chap! |
