GEOFFREY You must be enjoying yourself just now.
ELIZABETH [Makes a moue.] They insist on my being agreeable.
ANNYS It's so good for her. Teaches her self-control.
LAMB I gather from Mrs. Spender, that in the perfect world there
will be no men at all.
ELIZABETH Oh, yes, they will be there. But in their proper place.
ST. HERBERT That's why you didn't notice them.
[The DEPUTATION reaches the door. The sound of voices is heard.]
PHOEBE She's getting on very well. If she isn't careful, she'll
end up by being a flirt.
[The DEPUTATION enters, guided by SIGSBY. Its number is five, two
men and three women. Eventually they group themselves--some
standing, some sitting--each side of GEOFFREY. The others gather
round ANNYS, who keeps her seat at the opposite side of the table.]
SIGSBY [Talking as he enters.] Exactly what I've always
maintained.
HOPPER It would make the husband quite an interesting person.
SIGSBY [Cheerfully.] That's the idea. Here we are, guv'nor.
