You'll want a cab, won't you, mamma?
LADY MOGTON A taxi-- Goodbye, everybody.
[She sails out.]
MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS I have my carriage. [To ELIZABETH.] Can
I give you a lift?
ELIZABETH Thank you. [To GEOFFREY.] We shall meet again.
GEOFFREY I feel sure of it.

GEOFFREY [He takes it smiling.] Goodbye.
[She goes out; HAKE follows.]

ANNYS [Laughing.] Don't you worry about that.
