PERHAPS!
gpt
Good gracious!
human
What's the matter, dear?
gpt
Why, that woman who's just come in! Her voice was full of pleasurable excitement.
human
It's Cyril Maxon's wife. Who is it with her, I wonder!
gpt
Did she see us?
human
No, she didn't look this way. What shall we do, Rosaline? It's very awkward.
gpt
I only knew her very slightly--three or four quite formal calls--in the old days.
human
Oh, I used to see her now and then, though it was her husband who was my friend, of course.
gpt
Well, then, I think we can do as we like.
human
I don't know. As friends of his--well, what's the right thing towards him?
gpt
I don't mind what's the right thing--towards Mr. Maxon, said Lady Rosaline pettishly.
human
It won't hurt him if we're civil to her. I shall please myself. I shan't go out of my way to look for her, but if we meet I shall bow.
gpt
Oh, well, I must do the same as you, of course. Only I must say I hope Cyril won't hear about it and be hurt. He always expects his friends to make his quarrels theirs, you know!
