LADY MOGTON Well, must be content with that, I suppose. Better
not come in; the room's rather crowded. I'll keep you informed how
things are going.
[She goes out, followed by JANET.]
MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS I'll stay with you, dear.
PHOEBE I want you to come and be photographed for the Daily
Mirror. The man's waiting downstairs.
ELIZABETH I'll stop with Annys.
MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS I'm not quite sure, you know, that I take
well by flashlight.
PHOEBE You wait till you've seen mamma! We must have you. They
want you for the centre of the page.
MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS Well, if it's really -
PHOEBE [To the others.] Shall see you again. [She winks. Then
to MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS.] We mustn't keep them waiting. They
are giving us a whole page.
[PHOEBE takes MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS out. ELIZABETH has followed
to the door; she closes it. ANNYS has reseated herself, facing the
fire.]
ELIZABETH When did you see your husband last?
ANNYS Not since--Tuesday, wasn't it, that we went round to his
rooms.
