Miss Phoebe 'as
just gone out -
[PHOEBE enters.]
Oh, 'ere she is.
PHOEBE Hullo! [She is taking off her things.] Wherever have you
been? We've been scouring the neighbourhood -
[LADY MOGTON enters, followed by JANET.]
I say, you're looking jolly chippy.
ELIZABETH We had an extra enthusiastic meeting. She spoke for
rather a long time. I made her come home with me and lie down. I
think she is all right now.
LADY MOGTON Would you like to see a doctor?
PHOEBE There is a very good man close here. [She turns to
JAWBONES, who is still near the window.] Gordon -
ANNYS [Interrupting.] No. Please don't. I am quite all right.
I hate strange doctors.
PHOEBE Well, let me send for Whitby; he could be here in twenty
minutes.
ANNYS I wish you would all leave me alone. There's absolutely
nothing to fuss about whatever. We pampered women--we can't
breathe the same air that ordinary mortals have to. We ought to be
ashamed of ourselves.
PHOEBE [To herself.] Obstinate pig.
