Sorel
Yell for her.
Simon
Calling.
Clara! Clara! …
Sorel
Oh, Simon, I dodo hope she hasn’t asked anyone down today.
Simon
Why? Have you?
Sorel
Yes.
Simon
Crossly.
Why on earth didn’t you tell me?
Sorel
I didn’t think you’d care one way or another.
Simon
Who is it?
Sorel
Richard Greatham.
Simon
How exciting! I’ve never heard of him.
Sorel
I shouldn’t flaunt your ignorance if I were you—it makes you look silly.
