] Did you order the band?
LAMB [To SIGSBY.] The Dock division was against him to a man;
that Shipping Bill has upset them.
JANET No. I didn't think we should want the band.
PHOEBE Not want it! My dear girl -
JANET Perhaps Lady Mogton has ordered it, I'll ask her. [She goes
out.]
SIGSBY Hadn't you better "Wait and see"? It isn't over yet.
PHOEBE We may as well have it! It can play the Dead March in
"Saul" if you win. [She laughs.]
SIGSBY [Grunts. To LAMB.] Are you coming?
[He goes out.]
LAMB Yes. [To ST. HERBERT.] Are you coming?
ST. HERBERT Hardly worth while; nearly over, isn't it?
LAMB It generally takes an hour and a half. [He looks at his
watch.] Another forty minutes. Perhaps less. [He goes out.]
PHOEBE I do love to make him ratty. Wish it wasn't poor old Geoff
we were fighting.
ST. HERBERT When I marry, it will be the womanly woman.
PHOEBE No chance for me then?
ST. HERBERT I don't say that. I can see you taking your political
opinions from your husband, and thinking them your own.
