[_Taking_ MURIEL'S _hand._] Dear young lady, you are about to become the
wife of one of the best. There are not many of us left; we are a
dwindling band, Miss Eden--
[_The_ DUCHESS _comes to_ QUEX.
DUCHESS.
[_To_ QUEX, _softly._] Sincere congratulations. [_He bows stiffly._] At
any time, you know, when you return to England--
QUEX.
[_Eyeing her sternly._] Yes?
DUCHESS.
After your honeymoon--
QUEX.
Yes?
DUCHESS.
Should you feel _ennuy�_--
QUEX.
I!
DUCHESS.
The air at Burwarton never failed to exhilarate you. So pray do not
forget--
QUEX.
[_Indignantly._] Duchess!
DUCHESS.
[_Sweetly._] That poor dear Strood would be pleased to see you. [FRAYNE
_joins_ LADY OWBRIDGE _and_ MRS. EDEN _as the_ DUCHESS _advances to_
MURIEL.] Dear Miss Eden, may your married life be as beautiful, as
serene, as my own!
MURIEL.
[_Frankly._] Thank you, Duchess.
LADY OWBRIDGE.
We shall be a happy party at luncheon. Shall we go, Duchess?
Muriel--Henry--[QUEX _joins_ MURIEL. SOPHY _is eyeing_ MURIEL
_wistfully._ MISS LIMBIRD _holds the_ porti�re _aside, to allow the
visitors to pass out._] Good morning, Miss Fullgarney.
SOPHY.
Good morning, my lady.
DUCHESS.
Miss Fullgarney--
SOPHY.
Good-bye, your Grace.
[_The_ DUCHESS _and_ LADY OWBRIDGE _go out._
FRAYNE.
[_Following them with_ MRS. EDEN.] Good-day, Miss Fullgarney.
SOPHY.
Good-day, sir.
