RhACT III. MRS. ALLONBY We have been waiting for her in the Music-room, dear Lady Hunstanton.

LADY HUNSTANTON Ah! the Music-room, of course. I thought it was the Yellow Drawing-room, my memory is getting so defective. [To the ARCHDEACON.] Mrs. Daubeny has a wonderful memory, hasn't she?

LADY HUNSTANTON Ah! dear Lady Stutfield! and what has Mr. Kelvil been talking to you about?

LADY STUTFIELD About Bimetallism, as well as I remember. 121
