DUCHESS OF BERWICK. And what answer did you give him, dear child? LADY AGATHA. Yes, mamma. DUCHESS OF BERWICK. [Affectionately.] My dear one! You always say the right thing. Mr. Hopper! James! Agatha has told me everything. How cleverly you have both kept your secret. HOPPER. You don't mind my taking Agatha off to Australia, then, Duchess? DUCHESS OF BERWICK. [Indignantly.] To Australia? Oh, don't mention that dreadful vulgar place. HOPPER. But she said she'd like to come with me. DUCHESS OF BERWICK. [Severely.] Did you say that, Agatha? LADY AGATHA. Yes, mamma. DUCHESS OF BERWICK. Agatha, you say the most silly things possible. I think on the whole that Grosvenor Square would be a more healthy place to reside in. There are lots of vulgar people live in Grosvenor Square, but at any rate there are no horrid kangaroos crawling about. But we'll talk about that to-morrow. James, you can take Agatha down. You'll come to lunch, of course, James. At half-past one, instead of two. The Duke will wish to say a few words to you, I am sure. |
